Three students at the University of Strathclyde in Glasgow have found a way to travel through time. One of the three - Neil Sutherland - wants to take his fiancée Andrea on a short trip 200 years back into Scotland's past. But things do not work out as he had planned and Neil is killed when they reach their destinatiuon. Now Andrea is left alone in a strange world which she knows only from her reading. The reality of life in the Highlands of Scotland of the 18th century is very hard. This "short trip" has become for her a journey of no return.
In her attempts to make ends meet in this hard and strange world Andrea becomes involved in one of the greatest mysteries of the Highlands of that time - a riddle which has still not been solved - who ,killed Colin Campbell of Glenure, the king's factor, in Appin?
Andrea's wanderings bring her into contact with one of the main suspects, Alan Breck Stewart. She tries to change the fate of all of those involved - only to discover that history cannot be altered. She becomes so deeply entangled in the story and begins an affair with Alan, fleeing with him to France. She knows that this romance is against all reason but she knows too that she has to survive in these hard times.
