Summary
John “Soap” MacTavish was supposed to die.
Instead, he survives. With a bullet in his head, a body that no longer obeys him, and a life the military says he can’t keep.
He returns to Scotland looking for home and finds only ghosts.
Jane Hotchner was the only one who came back.
Discharged after captivity and loss she can’t name without breaking, she chooses Scotland for its distance, its indifference, its quiet.
Paired together in therapy, they navigate civilian life, trauma, and loss in quiet, halting steps.
This is not a story about being fixed.
It’s about choosing to stay. Choosing each other. And finding a way home.
Set in coastal Scotland, this is a slow-burn story about trauma, healing that isn’t linear, and love that doesn’t rescue
