How far would you go to get what you want?
1955.
Sisters Freyja and Jeanie MacAulay live an idyllic life on the Orkney island of Falun.
But Freyja is shattered when she hears the news that her beloved sister will soon be going to boarding school leaving Freyja alone.
Freyja tries everything to stop her leaving, but one day she watches from her bedroom window as Jeanie walks along their track, waves at her, then disappears.
She never comes back.
Nine years later, aged eighteen, Freyja's life is once again turned upside down.
She falls in love with visiting Norwegian composer, Magnus Olafson, but their relationship releases memories of her past with Jeanie that she'd rather remained hidden and Freyja breaks down.
Now, having been incarcerated in a mental asylum for the past eighteen years, Freyja has a visitor and she must reveal the truth about Jeanie's disappearance.
Will her visitor forgive Freyja for what she did?
Julie Didcock-Williams lives in rural East Sussex where the landscape inspires her work.
