Synopsis
When her aunt Shirley dies, Dawn finds herself back in her claustrophobic home town in Northern Scotland for the first time in years. She spends her days caring for her small daughter, listening to tapes of old country songs and cleaning Shirley's flat, until one day she comes across the key to a cupboard that she was forbidden to open as a child. Inside she finds an album of photographs, curling with age, shows a traveller community in the 1950s. A young couple pose on a beach, arms wrapped around each other; little girls in hand-me-down kilts reveal toothless smiles; and, an old woman rests her hands on her hips, her head thrown back in blurry laughter. But why has her aunt treasured these pictures secretly for so long? Dawn's need for answers leads her to a group of Travellers on the outskirts of Elgin. There she learns of a young man left to die on the floor of a cell, and realises that the story of her family is about to be rewritten...

Condition: Very Good. : Tras la muerte de su tía Shirley, Dawn regresa a su claustrofóbico pueblo natal en el norte de Escocia después de años. Pasa sus días cuidando a su pequeña hija, escuchando cintas de viejas canciones country y limpiando el piso de Shirley, hasta que un día encuentra la llave de un armario que tenía prohibido abrir cuando era niña. Dentro encuentra un álbum de fotografías, que se rizan con la edad, muestra una comunidad de viajeros en la década de 1950. La necesidad de respuestas de Dawn la lleva a un grupo de viajeros en las afueras de Elgin. Allí se entera de un joven que fue abandonado para morir en el suelo de una celda, y se da cuenta de que la historia de su familia está a punto de ser reescrita.
