"Daddy has to go to work, sweetheart. But I'll be back in two sleeps, I promise."
Alexander McRae kneels to his daughter's level, his heart heavy as he prepares to leave their Scottish island home for a three-day business trip. Two sleeps. Just two sleeps until he'll be back with his beloved daughter, Magsy, back in the cosy hillside cottage he and his wife Ailsa had filled with dreams and laughter, their perfect slice of Scottish paradise. But whilst he is away, Chaos spreads like wildfire and society unravels around him.
With a sprained ankle that refuses to heal and miles of hostile countryside between him and everything he loves; Alexander must fight his way home and bring himself closer, with every agonising step, to the small Scottish island that holds his heart.
With each passing moment, the question burns brighter: will he find his family alive, waiting for him?
Civilisation is falling-and his only goal is to get home.
