Angus, the bard of the village, tells stories of the seal people called, selkies, the spirits of the dead and of kelpies, horses who go under the sea. Jane decides her mum must be a selkie and is determined, with the help of Hamish and Wee Mac, to find her.
When she convinces a kelpie to take her beneath the ocean, what does she find?
