The Wopuld family has built its fortune on a board game called Empire! - now a hugely successful computer game. So successful, in fact, that a powerful American corporation wants to buy the family out.
Young renegade Alban, who has been evading his relatives for years, has sold most of his shares and resigned from his job in the company. But when he's tracked down by his cousin Fielding, Alban is persuaded to attend the upcoming family gathering - part birthday celebration, part shareholders' meeting - convened by Grandma Win, Wopuld matriarch and the most powerful member of the board.
Fielding expects his cousin to help convince the rest of the Wopulds not to sell their shares, but Alban knows that his first obligation at Garbadale, the family's Scottish Highlands estate, is to confront two painful events from his past: his ill-fated love affair with his beautiful cousin Sophie and his mother's suicide. An unexpected revelation by Grandma Win, however, will forever alter Alban's perspective.
