At dawn on the winter solstice Marion Neilson's dream will finally come to pass. Along with a handful of dignitaries and fellow seekers she will be admitted to Newgrange, the-five-thousand-year-old mound in the heart of Ireland, which is illuminated with the sun's rays just once a year, on the Winter Solstice. While awaiting entry to the cairn, Marion reviews her tempestuous relationship with the enigmatic Peter, their gradual shift from friendship to explosive love, his gradual slump into depression and their heart-wrenching separation. Within the sacred site of Newgrange the spirit of its extraordinary builders, artists and leaders still resonates, while ancient forces beckon its visitors to unburden their minds and unleash their dreams. For Marion, this is the chance to let go of the past and allow her emotional wounds to heal. As the first rays of light pierce through the darkness, will fate intervene to open her heart to new love?
