The Skye Ball has always been something of a spectacle for the islanders. The two-day affair culminates in a glitzy dinner followed by a night of Scottish country dancing where the young female attendees have a strict plan of who they will be introduced to, who they will dance with and to which song. The band plays almost until dawn when the gathered teenagers throw caution to the wind and leap together into Portree Harbour, a fitting end to mark their journey from adolescence into adulthood. This year, a dozen teenagers go into the water - but one fails to resurface. The rescue teams scour the bay in vain, searching for the missing boy; the last surviving heir to a Highland land baron. With those who have vested interests in both the boy's survival - and indeed his untimely death - circling the scene, laying down markers of their own, how will Duncan determine whether the disappearance is a tragic accident or something much more sinister?
