'SOMALIA
Arid. Unforgiving. Its history as turbulent as its people. A land ravaged by nature and depleted by war; a nation exploited by corrupt officials, ruthless warlords, fanatical terrorists and barbaric pirates.

'THE SCOTTISH HIGHLANDS
Pristine. Harsh. A place of fierce loyalties, long memories and bitter rivalries. A country of majestic beauty, towering peaks and mysterious, brooding lochs.

'Sent by his firm to establish a new venture in Kenya, Duncan MacGregor has persuaded his wife to join him. She fails to arrive. Her frantic husband embarks on a wideranging mission in an attempt to solve her disappearance.

'Exhausted and despondent at his lack of success, he returns to his native Scotland on compassionate leave, only to be confronted by a new dilemma.

'Duncan will be forced to make a choice. But how can he decide?'
