Andy escapes to the hills to clear his head, but can have had no premonition of what lies ahead. The mysterious gift of the Seven Signs, family tensions and risk to his long-standing relationship with Liz, and violent reaction from certain quarters to his seemingly harmless mission. As he sets out to explore the `lands above the waterheads`, and Scotland`s wilder landscapes he experiences contrast between his love-affair with this magnificent terrain, and ever more violent threats to his life. In touching on the eco-spiritual, and the imperative of the need for land-reform in Scotland he soon realises he has hit a raw nerve somewhere. In his exploration of wildness, he enjoys rich experiences and romance, which contrasts so much with the violence being visited upon him. But he finds growing confidence in the promise of being able to share all this with a wider public; he finds rewarding support for his mission, and that he has hit on something profoundly positive. This will surely triumph over evil intent?
