DI Shona Oliver's past and present collide when James McGowan, her ex-classmate - now a famous actor - returns to Scotland to make a Robert Burns biopic. Shona is tasked with keeping him safe during filming on an isolated island in the Solway Firth, and her job is made much harder when a dead man wearing James's coat is found on the beach in suspicious circumstances. It seems someone wants him out of the picture.

​

Meanwhile, Shona's mettle is tested at home too. Her husband faces the possibility of a long spell in prison for a crime he claims he didn't commit, but if he speaks out he risks his wife and teenage daughter coming to harm.

Can Shona keep her head above the waves and protect those around her?
