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 somewhat when they witness an horrific car crash. Administering First Aid, Fizz and Buchanan hear the dying wish of the crash victim - a plea to protect the second passenger in the car, an elderly gentleman with a price on his head. Taking a pit-stop to decide what to do, they are amazed to witness the police make a murderous attempt on the old man's life. Getting away from it all now includes getting as far away from the long arm of the law as possible!Matters are made even more complicated for the pair when their new charge, Scott McKenzie, starts to tell his side of the story.
