Una is devastated after the suicide of her father. So when she sees an advert seeking a teacher for two girls in Skálar on the storm-battered north coast of the island, she sees it as a chance to escape.

Una worries that she’s losing her mind. And then, just before Christmas, there’s a death in the village…
