Sarah wakes in an oarless boat, adrift on the sea, heading toward an unknown harbor. With no shoes, identification, or money, and dressed in only a linen shift, she comes ashore. Wandering the town, she learns she's landed on the Scottish Isle of Iona.
Her plan to return home to Boston crumbles when she's unable to reach her friends or partner for help. A series of chance encounters provide her with more than shelter and friendship. Later, tension ensues when she finally reaches her partner, Ian, and admits her desire to remain longer on the island, relishing the time to integrate her underworld odyssey and free herself from old patterns.
Over the week, even though her former guide in the underworld, Faith remains invisible, a neighbor, Angus, shares Faith's capacity to know Sarah's unspoken thoughts and feelings, including glimpsing her past and future. When Sarah discovers his perceptiveness, it frees her to speak openly, stoking their undeniable attraction. Her vow to act with authenticity and integrity suddenly becomes more complicated to embody.
