Far away from everything in the Scottish Highlands, Peter Irwin is far from your normal teenager. Thriving in his remote surroundings Peter finds himself facing some tough problems as his father battles Gulf War Syndrome, he struggles with his irresponsible mother and fights with his pregnant teenage sister who is following in her mother's flamboyant footsteps. He never complains but is silently tormented by his mother's abandonment, the traumatic death of his father and his sister's disappearance. All alone he is left to manage the house, the farm and look after his new born niece. Soon, when circumstances threaten to uncover the secret that he never wants anyone to know, Peter reaches breaking point. Take a walk in Peter Irwin's shoes and experience the struggle of growing up and the hope he discovers at the bottom of the hill.
