"Alexander Kinoch loves his life painting on a remote Scottish mountain. When some thugs roll up and rough him up and Alexander is dragged into a real and violent world where millions of pounds are missing and a valuable racehorse is under threat and his stepfather is sick from worry, stress and harassed on all sides. With the help of some surprising friends, he takes on the hard boys and the jealousy of his step-sister to put matters right."
