An entire branch of a family is wiped out, leaving only the babies alive. Detective McCloud must solve the murders before the burns of Shetland run red with the blood of the innocent. Detective McCloud might have come back to the Islands to find his inner peace and finish raising his family; however, the Islands have changed, and without someone like him, they will be ripped apart at the seams, leaving no one alive. There is more at stake than one person's life this time around, and he can't choke.
