The story revolves around Grady, an author, who is sent to a remote Scottish island by his agent, Kitty, to overcome writer's block. He discovers a hidden manuscript by a deceased author and decides to pass it off as his own work. On the island, Grady encounters strange residents and unsettling events, including newspaper articles about his missing wife, Abby, appearing mysteriously. The island's inhabitants seem to know more about him and his situation than he does, and it becomes clear that he is part of a carefully orchestrated scheme. Grady eventually discovers that his missing wife is on the island, but she does not remember him and has a new identity. He learns that the island is run by a group of women who are using him for their own purposes. Grady's agent, Kitty, is also involved, having set the entire situation up as an elaborate revenge plan. In the end, Grady is trapped on the island, forced to write books to benefit the island's community, and his new novel becomes a bestseller.
