Anna is a child living in a remote Hebridean community when she meets the enigmatic and romantic 'Jimmy Pearl'. She carries the memory of their meeting through to adult life - a life that is full of hardships. Anna's parents die and her brother and his wife sell the family croft, forcing Anna into a loveless marriage with the heartless Fergus. Anna doesn't reckon on the return of 'Jimmy Pearl' however.
