Synopsis

Spoiler shield

Captain Bill Torvald has retired to his quiet home in Orkney after fifty years at sea. When a young woman, Andrina, begins visiting him through the dark winter, he is grateful for her kindness and company. But as she starts to enquire about his past, he worries about the long-held secret he'll have to reveal to her.

“Some stories are better left unspoiled.”
