Le car beag de fhreastal thig cruth-atharrachadh air beatha. ’S ann mar sin a lorgar gaol ann an àite-pàircidh, cuideachd an cois parsail a thèid a lìbhrigeadh dhan doras cheàrr, agus rùn teaghlaich a chuireas beatha bun os cionn an cùl drathair. Caillear dotair òg san t-sneachda às dèidh ran-dan na Nollaige. Gheibhear cothrom air dìoghaltas air bòrd aiseag CalMac. Thig an t-àm a dh’fhalbh beò am broinn cafaidh ann an Eilean Bhòid is èiridh na mairbh aig cèilidh. Sin dìreach cuid de na suidheachaidhean neo-àbhaisteach anns an lorg caractaran àbhaisteach iad fhèin is far an tig orra an dòchasan is an deamhainean a rèiteachadh

Ordinary people. Everyday situations. Extraordinary outcomes. One small twist of fate and the normal turns to the fantastic. And so, the book's characters are propelled into the world of the marvellous, the supernatural and the surreal; not to mention the ridiculous; where they wrestle with their demons, their desires and their failings. Sometimes they triumph. Sometimes life triumphs. Their stories take us from the familiar shores of the Gàidhealtachd through the smoky streets of Glasgow and the industrial heartlands of the North of England to the sun scorched African Savannah.

Taking inspiration from local folklore on the Island of Arran, traditional Gaelic story telling themes and techniques are weaved into modern topics such as relationships, drug use and mental illness.
