Overview

Johnny and Mairi move to the Isle of Skye with their son Tavish.  It is a daunting prospect but an amazing opportunity. The Kilbackie Estate Farm is rundown and the large house is dreary and damp. Tavish remains their hope for a better future. Johnny relishes the opportunity to farm. He is optimistic and determined to make the business profitable, whereas Mairi struggles to adjust to her new identity.  Past events finally catch up with her, pitting her against family and friends who are sorely tested by her unreasonable behaviour.  Without their loyal support, the whole Kilbackie project is doomed. Mairi faces her painful emotions and insecurities head on. In an attempt to fulfil her dreams, she tackles her demons, embraces change and makes a conscious effort to heal the festering wounds that prevent her from moving forward.  She wishes to put her past behind her and become the person she has always wanted to be.  She has one chance to succeed. Only her past can stop her.
