When the body of a man is found on shore in the waters of Luing, Scotland, there is no-one to claim the body. Nobody seems to miss or have missed the man at all, even though his name is given out by the authorities. The only thing that's claimed is the boat he's found in, which leads to the local fishermen to have an old fight being refaught.It's not until Lily Cochrane, aspiring new journalist, gets her way to a scoop, that the ball gets rolling. And that might just mess up things even more, as the body has anything but a pretty past.
