Further details
In need of a change of scene, Tom and Roy take up Sally's offer of a week in a Highland croft. The croft is one in which Sally was going to stay with her boyfriend, Mark, before his untimely death.
While Roy settles quickly to country life, Tom is soon bored to tears. With nothing to do, he invites Amber to their country idyll as long as she brings a big bag of DVDs. Having just split from her boyfriend, Steve (Sally's son), Amber agrees.
After a night in the pub, Amber picks up Malcolm, a local man, and takes him back to the croft. Unfortunately Sally then arrives unexpectedly with Steve. Tom must ensure that Steve doesn't find out about Malcolm, while also dealing with the possibility that the croft is haunted.
During these distractions, Roy seizes his chance to ask Sally if she would consider moving to the country permanently with him.
