Einer geht zu Fuß durch die Grafschaft Suffolk, eine spärlich besiedelte Gegend an der englischen Ostküste, und dort findet er, in den Heidelandschaften und abgelegten Küstenorten, die ganze Welt wieder. Überall stößt er auf Spuren vergangener Herrlichkeit und Schande. Den geringfügigen Rest am Wegrand bringt er zum Sprechen. Jeder Stein kündet von märchenhaften und unheimlichen Geschichten.
