Ruth and her three small children eagerly await the return of their father who has taken his fishing boat for a refit at a boatyard in the north of Scotland. But in the middle of the night, as the port becomes a sweeping tide of flame, Ruth realises that their island is under siege. Her only hope is to take the children to Aunt Jeannie’s remote hill farm. So begins an exciting but frightening journey for Ruth and her small party as the peace of their tranquil island is shattered.
