A stranger in the uniform of the US army comes to a farmhouse in rural Ireland. He tells them his name is Rivers and he is of the Choctaw tribe of Native Americans.
He seems to know the house, knows the symbols carved into the old wooden mantelpiece a hundred years before. Symbols that the owners of Abbeyfield farm can't explain.
The O'Connell family have their own problems. Summer storms have lashed the crops and the harvest is in jeopardy.Rosie O'Connell is drawn to the stranger, but she has her own secrets to keep.
Why has Rivers come? Why now? Is he here to help the O'Connell family or has he come to take back what should not have been given?
