Cath is a photographer hoping to go freelance, working in a record shop to pay the rent and eking out her time with her manager Steve. Starting work on her new project - photographing murder houses - she returns to the island where she grew up for the first time since she left for Glasgow when she was 18. The Isle of Bute is embedded in her identity, the draughty house that overlooked the bay, the feeling of being nowhere, the memory of her childhood friend Shirley Craigie and the devastating familicide of her family by the father, John Craigie. Arriving at the Craigie house, Cath finds that it's occupied by financial analyst Alice Rahman. Her bid to escape the city lifestyle, the anxiety she felt in that world, led her to leave London and settle on the island. The strangeness of the situation brings them closer, leading them to reinvestigate the Craigie murder.
