In this riveting tale set on the rugged coast of Scotland, a tempestuous night brings with it the mysterious arrival of a man who bears an uncanny resemblance to Prince Charlie, the beloved figurehead of the Jacobite cause. As the storm rages, the townsfolk of Inverlachie rally to rescue the stranger, nursing him back to health and speculating on his true identity.
