Audrey Hart is on the Isle of Skye to collect the folk and fairy tales of the people and communities around her.

They believe the girls are the victims of the restless dead: spirits who take the form of birds. Initially, Audrey is sure the girls are being abducted, but as events accumulate she begins to wonder if something else is at work. Something which may be linked to the death of her own mother, many years before.
