On a remote Scottish Island, Isla and brother Sandy live a normal life hunting seabirds, chatting to mythical creatures and defending their island from incomers. They follow the strict rules inherited from their late father – protect the island, allow no incomer and survive … until one day their world is overturned with the arrival of Daniel, a lonely and socially inept council worker. He’s there to evacuate them to the mainland, bringing with him the strange mainland ways of law, paperwork, veganism and internet wizardry. Long-held beliefs begin to crumble, as each of them must confront the truth, embrace change and dare to imagine a life beyond the island, whilst fighting to preserve the heritage thy have sworn to defend.
