About The Return

It is September 1939 the Taylor family have gathered in their well-appointed country home in the highlands of Scotland for the funeral of the head of the family.

The return of the prodigal son, to attend his father’s funeral, upsets the gathering with some shock revelations and a puzzling mystery.
