Seonaid is originally from Lewis, off the west coast of Scotland and finds herself in Inverness, Highlands. She sits facing the camera and tells her story of why she is there. She starts by telling the story of her Great Uncle Murdoch who went out to Australia when he was 21. He joined the police and stayed with them for 39 until his death. As he had no family his possessions are sent to Seonaid's family. One of the artifacts is an Aboriginal shield, which Seonaid's brother hangs on the wall. Seonaid reads in a journal belonging to her Great uncle telling of the bad luck that he experienced 3 days before his death. Similarly Seonaid's family experiences strange bad luck for 3 days and so they decide to burn all of the possessions.
