Setting

In a remote coastal village in Northern Scotland, the choice between money and happiness has never been more clear or carried such deadly consequences.


When Moss arrives in a remote coastal village on the North Seas, he is accepted as what he appears to be: a somewhat grubby American backpacker on holiday. He gets contract work on the offshore oil rig and courts Julie Tucker, a local café owner and single mother. Gradually the town begins to realize just who it is they're harboring: a Special Forces soldier turned drugs smuggler, and, if that wasn't bad enough, he has a lot of really rough characters riding into town after him.


The safety of the town and the woman he loves against the successful conclusion of a very lucrative drug deal... which will Moss choose?
