When family history has to be resolved and wrongdoings undone. Love recognised, accepted and returned. Then, only then, can live move forward. Or can it?
Baird Drummond is the only one who can help his ancestors correct wrongdoings after Culloden.
Now centuries later, he's the one who appears to be learning what life has in store for him, and he's not happy about it all.
A teacher exchange to Wanaka in New Zealand? He's all for that. Until he gets told The Wanaka Tree is important to his family—but not why.
Or why his new landlady isn't overjoyed to meet him.
It's not that restauranteur Helena actively dislikes him—she suspects it's anything but. However she has enough on her mind without considering whether she might have a future with Baird.
Like people appearing in front of her who aren't really there, youths wondering if she's worth robbing, and a dishwasher with a mind of its own.
With each other's help they thwart the potential robbers, and solve the mystery of Baird's heritage. Then and only then do they look forward to the future.
