Rejected by the mentally unstable woman, a distraught Eric begins to contemplate suicide, until he comes across a curious advertisement for a shepherd.
Believing it's the only alternative; Eric takes the job, working alone on an island off the west coast, looking after 600 sheep.
He soon begins to discover that his new island home is not all it seems. With the mysterious disappearance of all the sheep and his beloved dog, Eric tumbles down a slippery slope of panic.
