Hamish Macbeth, Scotland's most laconic and low-tech policeman, investigates the death of a woman with seemingly unearthly powers.

All Sergeant Hamish Macbeth wants to do is fish and drink coffee with his fiancee. But when a mysterious stranger moves into the neighboring village, a rivalry erupts among the local women, and the men of the village start a slow burn. It is amusing until death threats, assault, and murder shatter the tranquil countryside.
