Following the Highland Clearances in the nineteenth century, Angus Ross and his wife left Scotland to emigrate to Canada and settled in Dove River on the edge of the outback. Their lives were hard but not particularly eventful until the day in 1867 when Mrs Ross discovered the body of a neighbour. Laurent Jammet had been brutally murdered. Worse was to come for Mrs Ross. On that same day her seventeen-year-old adopted son Frances disappears and the local community suspects him of being the murderer. Even Angus Ross is unwilling to find out what has happened to his son.
