Ailsa’s mum is ill, so she is living with Uncle Nod and Aunt Bertha in their Scottish island home, where not everything on the island is quite what is seems.

With the help of loyal dog, Moxie, Ailsa finds something-someone in the nearby caves. An ancient woman that needs but doesn’t want help, a being with magic running through her veins.

With her new friend Camilla, whose Father is known by locals as a gangster, Ailsa tries to help the mysterious woman whose fate is tied not just to Ailsa but her mum, Camilla, and the island itself.

Can Ailsa save everything she loves in time?
