Inspired by real events
Ullapool 1987. Moira, single mother of Alex is unaware that her calm village life is to be turned upside down by the arrival of a rusty old factory ship in the waters of Loch Broom in the Scottish Highlands.
The decrepit vessel - Harmony - is impounded, and the crew confined there. They have no access to money or land. Prisoners held in a watery jail.
Villagers come to the aid of the inadequately clothed and malnourished African crew, little knowing the effect this will have on their community.
Moira's developing friendship with Jim, one of the Nigerian crew, brings prejudices to the fore. None more so than those of her brother Roddy whose true character comes under the spotlight and threatens the stability of the whole family.
Can love overcome prejudice? Will the crew ever return to their homelands? Can the village ever be the same again?
An engaging, intimate and moving tale.
