At 18, he leaves his troubled home life, where his father is a fugitive due to political strife, to pursue his education in Edinburgh. As he travels, he faces a relentless downpour that complicates his journey, leading to a series of encounters that set the stage for his adventures.

His journey takes a dramatic turn when he unwittingly stumbles into a group labeled ‘Sweet-Singers,’ led by the volatile Muckle John Gib, which leads him further into turmoil and conflict, reflecting the turbulent world he inhabits. The stage is thus set for his further trials in this whirlwind of encounters, exploring his character's resolve and the challenges of his time. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
