At Cock Shield Farm in 1881, servant Davie Armstrong discovers that his master Angus McBain has made young Molly Geary pregnant. McBain publicly punishes Molly for refusing to name the father, then plans to force Davie to accept responsibility and marry her so that his own conduct remains hidden.
The simultaneous pregnancy of McBain’s wife binds legitimate and illegitimate children to the same violent secret. As the disabled Amos McBain grows into a man capable of exerting frightening control over the household, the original deception shapes love, resentment and revenge across the next generation.
