Two men, bearing both guilt and secrets, and not really
known to one another, set out on a journey to reach the Misty Isle where, it is
said, there lies a cave filled with gold from which a many might take as much
as he can carry.
One bears guilts he can both forgive and not forgive of
himself, the other bearing his own secrets. The reasons for the guilt and the
secrets gradually come to the fore as they travel across a landscape as bleak
and as hard as their lives. Along the way, they encounter others, travelers, householders, and a
ferryman. They are similarly hard and suspicious, and also reflect the Jacobite
landscape of Scotland
where they reside.
Over time, MacInnes, the taller of the two and the one that
knows the way to the cave, reveals more of it to his smaller, guilt carrying
companion, warning that the cave carries a particular price for those who seek
it: It strips away a little bit of anyone who enters.
