The Boy In The Red Boat

With his face barely recognisable after a severe beating; Jack McKenzie leaves the grime of a Yorkshire steel town to claim the inheritance of a neglected farmhouse, bordering the vast estate of Dungellen Hall in the Scottish highlands. The year is 1957.

Walking his dog on the beach, he is cut off on a sandbar, and trapped within a paranormal storm.

Passing through a time-shield into the 1920’s, he is offered work at the old hall, during which time, a remarkable transformation begins, when a lifelong speech impediment is slowly corrected, and his battered features are healed.

On the night of a devastating fire, the owner’s six year old grandson is badly injured and drifts out to sea in a small red boat.

Aware only of the fire, Jack is transported back into1957, to discover the Hall is now derelict, with no trace of the boy having survived.

Waiting at the farmhouse is a young woman from the village store, who cannot accept the identity of this handsome, well spoken stranger, as being the same injured man who was barely able to speak... only two days earlier.

With the Hall due for demolition, and the estate proposed as a site for a vast holiday camp, a desperate search begins to locate the missing Heir, and prevent the destruction of an historical building, and its unique environment.
