In the quaint fishing village on Scotlands north coast, twenty-year-old Malcolm MacPhail has always lived a quiet life with his grandfather. Having never known his parents, he feels no longing to uncover the mystery of his origins. Yet, the townsfolk are intrigued, with their own theories about the enigmatic arrival of this Highland man and his infant grandson two decades ago. When a local marquis and his daughter move into the long-abandoned estate just outside town, their presence sets off a chain of events that will not only bring Malcolm into their world but may also unravel the secrets of his past and reshape his destiny.
