In the small Highland community of Drumdarg, Rose Maclean's husband, Chalmers, has caught the eye of flirty Sheena Mearns. Rose, however, is not the only one with problems. The crime that poor, mad Hattie Macaskill was accused of many years ago is about to be resurrected. And, as if Rose's husband isn't giving her enough to worry about, her wayward fourteen-year-old son Barra would have her believe that he has a new best friend called Jamie -- a friend only Barra can see and who will sort out everyone's problems. For Barra's new friend is an angel.
