The Knights Came Riding

<p>Seumas McKinnon has just retired from an advertising job in Melbourne. He would be free to leave Australia as a widower with no attachments-except for his son Alasdair a successful lawyer. Although they're grown men Seumas and Alasdair share a strong dependency that keeps Seumas stuck in a rut. He can't meet anyone with Alasdair constantly around; even though he loves his son he decides it's time for some time apart.</p> <p>Seumas heads to the Isle of Skye in Scot-land. He hopes to embrace his familial roots and learn some Gaelic along the way. The separation is initially hard on both of them but soon Seumas meets Morag a lovely charming woman whom he finds immediately attractive. They strike up a relationship even though they both know Seumas plans to return to Australia. Back home Alasdair meets someone too-Annie O'Hare a physiotherapist recently returned from Hong Kong. Initially she refuses to take him seriously.</p> <p>Apart father and son seem to thrive. Eventually Seumas returns to Melbourne happy to feel some emotional distance from his clingy son. Then a tragic and nearly fatal accident occurs that bonds the McKinnon boys more than ever before. Perhaps Seumas's trip to Scotland was all in vain or per-haps his absence gave him a chance to see the true importance of love and family.</p>
