Friends since childhood, and lovers and business partners
as adults, Niamh and Ruairidh are owners of a small
Hebridean company, Ranish Tweed, that weaves its own very
special version of Harris Tweed. Although it's a small
company, their fabrics have become internationally sought-
after as a niche brand in the world of fashion and haute
couture.
But the threads of their relationship are beginning to
fray. As they prepare for an important showing at the
Première Vision fabric fair, held in Paris every year,
Niamh accuses Ruairidh of having an affair with Irina, a
Russian fashion designer they work with--a fight that ends
with Ruairidh storming off and getting into Irina's car.
Moments later, Niamh watches in horror as the car
containing her life partner explodes in a ball of flame.
With Niamh a prime suspect in the murder, the Parisian
police hound her even after she returns to Harris to bury
the pitiful remains of her lover and business partner. Amid
the grief and struggles that follow, she begins to suspect
that things are not what they seem; and when there is an
attempt on her life, she becomes convinced that what looked
like a terrorist attack on her lover might be something
more personal by far . . .
