The argumentative villagers and dangerous sheep are a setback but it's Connal MacGregor who poses a bigger problem. Connal gave up his career and moved to the secluded glen determined to protect his disfigured daughter after the accident that killed her mother. He can't allow busloads of tourists and journalists onto his property for the annual Sighting ceremony. For centuries the romantic tradition of looking into the loch on the first of May to catch a glimpse of the person you are meant to love has been a well-kept local secret. Opening the ceremony to the public though could bring in business for the struggling village shops inns and bed and breakfasts.. Anna tries to mediate between village's needs and Connal's fight to keep his daughter safe.
