The mysterious death of Willie McRae, a prominent Scottish lawyer and ex-Vice Chairman of the Scottish National Party, raises questions about the circumstances surrounding his demise in 1985. After surviving a car crash, he was found with a bullet in his brain, leading to a swift conclusion by authorities of suicide. However, the possibility of state-sponsored murder looms large, inviting speculation and investigation into the political implications of his death and the truth behind the events on that lonely hillside.

Set against a backdrop of political stalemate in Scotland, the story follows a man who disrupts a military convoy transporting nuclear warheads, igniting a wave of civil disobedience. His actions resonate with a populace frustrated by Westminster's control and the denial of a second independence referendum. As he gains notoriety as 'Dalriada,' his audacious acts inspire widespread support, prompting a fierce response from security services determined to apprehend him. The narrative explores themes of resistance, identity, and the quest for autonomy.

Substantial amounts of 'dark money' provided to British Unionists from unknown sources and used for illegal political purposes in order to subvert the right of Scots to choose independence, is awash in Scotland. A Scottish islander from Benbecula finds himself immersed in a series of criminal plots to defeat the Scots' drive for independence. Facing the might of the British security services and the concerted efforts of those financing corruption, the future of democracy in Scotland looks bleak.
