Synopsis

Elfrida and Oscar intend to celebrate the Christmas Season very simply after moving to Sutherland in the north of Scotland in November. Oscar has recently lost his wife and daughter in a motor accident. Oscar has a half-share in an estate house in Sutherland which he is told by his uncle is standing empty. He asks his friend Elfrida to accompany him and as she doesn't think he is able to cope on his own, she does. Their plans for a quiet winter solstice are altered when Carrie, the daughter of Elfrida's cousin, and her niece, Lucy, having nowhere to spend Christmas ask if they can come. The fifth member of the party is Sam Howard, a business man from New York who comes to run an ailing Scottish mill and also has nowhere to go and no way of getting there being snowed in and unable even to reach his hotel. As one character after another must learn to live with their losses, they find themselves collectively spirited northwards. And, as events unfurl, those in need find solace in unexpected places.
