Finn Ross has retreated to Scotland's remote Orkney Islands to find clarity about his dissolving career and marriage. On a twilit midsummer ramble, he discovers the body of a local eminent musician. His involvement in the case thwarts his desire to return to his native Belfast, and Finn decides to follow his own instincts as an investigative reporter to solve the crime. An enigmatic island girl and her grandmother join Finn in his pursuit of the truth, and all three find themselves caught in a web of lies and secrets, revealing threads of old sins and links to shadowy witchcraft. The mystical, barren landscape of Orkney, the presence of folklore and ancient ruins, and the unceasing wind combine to make a compelling backdrop for this story of murder, power, and the question of justice.
