Synopsis
Solicitor Tam Buchanan and his friend and colleague Fizz Fitzgerald arrange to get away from it all on a hill-walking holiday in the beautiful Scottish Highlands. Unfortunately, their idyllic break is ruined when they witness a horrific car crash. Fizz and Buchanan hear the dying wish of the crash victim, a plea to protect the second passenger in the car, an elderly, amnesiac, alcoholic gentleman with a price on his head. Matters are made worse when they see the police make a murderous attempt on their charge's life. With lives and careers in the balance, Fizz and Buchanan want to stay as far away from the law as possible until they solve the case!
