In the Scottish village of Arberloch, Kenneth, a grieving tour guide, is devoted to preserving the legacy of the town's sole historical figure—eighteenth-century inventor Sir Douglas Weatherford. But when a fantasy series chooses Arberloch as its filming location, and the town turns its back on Weatherford in favour of fan culture, Kenneth descends into madness.

12-year-old Conor encounters an ancient tree monster who proceeds to help him cope with his mother's terminal illness and being bullied in school.
