The story of M脿iri MacDonald's return home to the island from which she escaped eight years previously.

Tha M脿iri a' tilleadh dhachaigh gun de貌in airson tiodhlacadh caraid ach chan eil e fada gus an cuimhnich i carson a dh'fh脿g i: gobaireachd na coimhearsnachd agus fear a b' fhe脿rr leatha sheachnadh. A' dh'aindheoin sin tha an 霉ine a tha i a' cur seachad le a seanmhair Peigi agus a co-ogha Iain a' c貌rdadh rithe gu m貌r. 'S beag for a tha aice ge-ta, gu bheil planaichean aig cuideigin a
cumail air an eilean.

The story of M脿iri MacDonald's return home to the island from which she escaped eight years ago, having left her family and the place, its claustrophobia and its customs. However, her homecoming is longer than anticipated as the emotional ties ('bannan') renew their hold.

M脿iri reluctantly returns home for a funeral and is quickly reminded of the reasons why she left: the local gossips and a face from the past she hoped not to see. However, whilst on the island with her grandmother Peggy and cousin Iain, M脿iri realises what was so long overdue - time together. What she is unaware of however, is someone's plans to keep her there.
