In few places in this world could magic and fairies exist as they do in the beautiful mountains of the Highlands, but pragmatic archaeologist Dr. Lucy Stewart knows that these legends stem from cultural folklore. When her University's research funds are reduced, she agrees to travel to Scotland in search of notoriety. It may not be a coincidence that her attention is drawn to some recently discovered books over 300 years old, which lead her on a journey to possibly uncover a sanctuary for the Winter Queen, Cailleach. The misty peaks and Scottish countryside envelop Dr. Lucy in a subtle and moving atmosphere, with the help of her guide and whiskey distiller, Duncan McIntyre. He himself may be a meddling ghost in her investigations, but she doesn't let herself get caught up in all of the wonders of Scottish Christmas celebrations that his family partakes in. Although she can't help but be affected by the festive ambiance and unpredictable weather.
