Fingal, Shona and Bryce are growing up in the Scottish coastal town of Criachan, cut off for at least a hundred years from the mainland by impassable cliffs to the east and dangerous waters to the west. Living in complete isolation, the community has developed a self-sufficient way of life. As long as they keep to their strict rules and pay their dues to the spirit of the wild ocean, they are safe to live in peaceful simplicity.
But when a half-drowned stranger washes up on the shore and the three teenagers make a terrible mistake, the community strains to cope. Their punishment leads to a journey of difficult decisions, great surprises and ragged friendship.
