The Edge of the World

On a remote Outer Hebridean island, a traditional way of life is on the brink of extinction, but a few stubborn residents refuse to leave their home behind, clinging to their heritage and the sea that has sustained them for generations.

On a remote Outer Hebridean island, a trio discovers a gravestone at the edge of a cliff, reading "Peter Manson... gone over." As they learn the story behind the gravestone, they're transported back in time to when the island's way of life was dying.
