It's the last night of summer 1985, and so the townspeople decide to throw a small picnic for Lochdubh's soon-to-be-graduating class on the hills, under the stars.

Hamish Macbeth sets out to apprehend two bank robbers in the town of Kennewick but has to tread carefully otherwise he, along with his deputy and innocents in the bank, could wind up the robbers' next victims.
