Description
A remote island in Orkney serves as the backdrop for a honeymoon that takes an unexpected turn. A literature professor and his pale, enigmatic bride find themselves alone beneath the shifting skies, with the professor's mind consumed by the mystery of his new wife. As the days pass, the professor becomes increasingly obsessed with uncovering the secrets behind his bride's presence on the island. But the more he tries to grasp her, the further she seems to slip away, drawn inexorably to the sea. The landscape itself appears to be exerting a strange influence over them both. The result is a psychological exploration of love, identity, and the power of the natural world to shape our lives.
