There are no fish in the sea, no jobs and a steady exodus to the city. Life as he knows it is slipping away and Ruadhan's idol, town bard Alec, has little stomach to fight the decline.
Returning childhood friend Amy sparks Ruadhan's struggle to keep the past alive. When Alec takes off to a retirement home in mysterious circumstances, Ruadhan must act quickly to save him and protect the town he loves. Featuring a cast of legends including Norman Maclean and Sheila Stewart, alongside up and coming Scottish talent, Blackbird is a moving tale of belonging and loss.
