John Finlay is fleeing from failure. His engineering business has failed. His relationship has failed. His flight from debts leads him to disaster and to the Island, where he must learn to live anew.Dermot, pulling a boy barely alive from the water, has never seen anyone so strangely dressed. His Celtic island knows nothing of debt, nor engineering. Where has this man come from? John struggles to accept that he has been carried across time and into another world both like and unlike his own. How he got there is a mystery. But John, the foreigner, must turn slowly into Dhion, the lslander. Still, he brings with him unfinished business that must be faced, and ideas that may not always be welcomed. Meanwhile Dermot, consumed with a growing jealousy, develops his own deadly agenda. The whole community finds itself caught up in what becomes a matter of survival- or transformation. A tale of loss and change. A spiritual inquiry. And a love story.
