Mary Guthrie, a student of English at Edinburgh University, becomes fascinated by the fantastical 17th century writer Sir Thomas Urquhart of Cromarty, and sets out to write a thesis on him. She pursues her research in his ancestral home, Cromarty House, now a crumbling ruin. There under the current laird, Sir James, she is drawn into an increasingly Gothic exploration of the history of the eccentric Urquharts and the maze of tunnels beneath the house.
