Though the 1960s herald follower power and race riots, the village of Westerbank in the west of Scotland remains curiously untouched. As the nights draw in, men stand on a corner in the middle of the village, smoking and sharing jokes and stories that have been passed on for generations. Everyone knows everyone else's business. Westerbank isn't a place for secrets. But when handsome hell-raiser Joe McBride returns after twenty years in America, the village comes alive with whispers. Why did Joe leave so suddenly all that time ago? And why has he come back? Joe's homecoming terrifies his childhood friend Frankie Flaherty, who's struggled to forget the secret Joe left behind - and hide it from the wife he adores. As for Joe, he's determined to atone for the past, but it will take tragedy before he is finally forgiven.
