In 1619 in Scotland, a time of intolerance, when Catholics and Protestants disagree and healers are hanged as witches, a child born of mysterious parentage is given to fisher folk to raise as their son. Dughall grows up in a family bound by love and morality, becomes a healer, and displays psychic abilities. His life is torn apart when he's claimed by his real father, a cruel and powerful lord who tries to mold him in his image.
