A 1960s sci-fi thriller about an inexplicable heatwave on a Scottish island that masks an alien invasion, building paranoia and mystery through isolation and scientific uncertainty.

While mainland Britain shivers in deepest winter, the northern island of Fara bakes in the nineties, and the boys at the Met station have no more idea what is going on than the regulars at the Swan. Only a stand-offish visting scientist realizes space aliens are to blame.
