Sky has the recurring dream about a storm that destroys Sidh until there’s nothing left but ashes. The message seems to be very clear. She has to free the island from the curses that have been haunting it for generations. With that, she could also help the people who mean the most to her: Her mother Moira, who struggles with the late complications of a curse instead of finally starting her own B&B. Rory, who longs for more than just secret kisses at the beach. And Jamie, whose future at the shipyard Sky desperately wants to save at any cost. As Sky realises that breaking one curse after another isn’t enough but it’s about something much bigger, she sees herself at the finish line. But she misses the most important aspect – until it’s almost too late.

The council finds out and they demand Sky to stay at the manor and prove that the curses has truly been lifted, but as is turns out it wasn’t just simply a curse that affected the roses, but all things staying overnight at the manor… Faced with the true power of the curse, Sky is reluctant to stay at the manor and Moira volunteers on her behalf. At first everything seems fine, but as Moira’s illness returns and the water turns brackish, Sky is faced with the consequences of a curse lifting gone wrong.
