  • "Dan Porter is a man caught in the throes of change, who must decide for himself what is truly important in life. Laid off from his dot-com job, disconnected both from his successful and possibly philandering wife of twenty years and from his three incomprehensible teenage children, he is forced to re-estimate himself and his own worth.

But when his struggling new firm operates a "last in, first out" policy, Dan finds himself made redundant for the first time in his life.

Then he sees an article about a small mail-order company based in the west of Scotland - it is for sale and its potential for expansion is enormous. With Jackie abroad on yet another business trip, Dan casts fate to the wind and takes the overnight sleeper to Fort William. What he discovers isn't what he expects, but it is a trip that is about to change his life ..."
