Synopsis

Nothing is as it seems in this historical family saga with an ending you won't see coming.

One boy's fate determines his survival.

1800's Scotland

Charlie Robertson is born into poverty in 1878 in rural Dufftown. At the age of four, following his mother's death, he is sent to live with relatives in Aberdeen where he has the chance to live a life of wealth. Set against the class divides of 1800's Scotland, young Charlie is torn between the life he was born into and the one thrust upon him.

Aberdeen gives him a rare chance to be highly educated and mould himself into a gentleman - a path that could change his life forever. He meets Alice, his childhood sweetheart, strong willed and spirited, who eases Charlie's grief and longing for his old home.



Robert Ross, Charlie's grandfather is a ruthless patriarch and womaniser who refuses to accept Charlie into his family and is determined to sever his grandson's political aspirations in order to protect his own interests and place in society.



Hated by his grandfather and loved by Alice, will Charlie succeed in life?

How far will Robert go to see his grandson fail?
A twist of fate results in an ending you won't see coming.
