Sean Logan's mother was raped and butchered. His father was jailed for the murder of her assailant. Sean's birth coincides with his mother's death. Brought up by Aunt Marion and cousin Lizzie on the family farm near Tullis on the east coast of Scotland, Sean is a boy of immense intelligence. He understands guns, ammunition, explosives. Yet, he was born dumb; and whilst he has no words to speak, still he has one burning thought on his mind: REVENGE. REVENGE. REVENGE. This is the tale of a young boy's memory, his struggle to come to terms and ultimately his need to settle scores and lay to rest the ghosts of his mother's killers. However, the desire for revenge belongs to us all. What happens when the hunter becomes the hunted?
