Robert Reid moved his family to Scotland's Outer Hebrides in the 1990s, driven by hope and hiding a terrible secret. But despite his best efforts to fit in, Robert is always seen as an outsider. He begins to unravel, believing his fate on the remote island of Kilmeray cannot be escaped. When Maggie MacKay was five years old, she announced that a man on Kilmeray - a place she'd never visited - had been murdered. Nearly twenty years later, Maggie is determined to find out what really happened, and what the islanders are hiding. But when she begins to receive ominous threats, Maggie is forced to consider how much she is willing to risk to discover the truth.
