Synopsis

Local constable Hamish MacBeth is a bit confused when first approached by astrologer Elspeth Grant--she seems to think that her cosy village is dying. It turns out that her concern is over the sudden departure of a number of neighbors who won't tell her why they moved. MacBeth has his work cut out for him as he tries to uncover who, or what, is driving people out of Stoyre.
