When Peter is offered a posting to serve as one of the youngest officers on a Polaris missile submarine in Scotland, he’s delighted. His career is progressing faster than he had ever dreamt of. Why can’t his new wife be happy for him?

Enter rich, charming and clever Duncan, who seems to have all the answers to Kaisa’s problems. With Peter away on a long patrol, can the lonely Kaisa resist Duncan’s advances?
