Pet, Davey, and Mike are back in modern Scotland after a frightening byut exhilarating year out of time in twelth century. The survival skills they fought so hard to acquire in the distant past are as inappropriate for them in the present as hand-to-hand battle tactics are for soldiers returning to civilian life.

Mike's father, a retired special forces major, at first tries to deprogram the boys, but Pete begins to feel that his destiny is tied to the past and that he, at least, must go back.Pete has the added complication of being the subject of a custody battle between his parents who are the process of divorce. His father's sister is constantly in a state of war with Pete, thinking he should still be the innocent little boy he was a year ago when the group vanished from the island and thrown back in time to the brutal days of Braveheart.The decision to go back or to stay seems to be Pete's. But can he go back? Does he really have a chioce? If he does go back, should he go alone or should the others go with him?
