March, 1924. In a rundown cottage near Crawfordjohn, a wedding dress hangs on the wall. Nancy's life is as cold as the Clyde in winter, but she knows she's going to be a star.

Desperate to escape the poverty of her childhood, Nancy Gibbs dreams of being an actress. Her anxious, spiteful mother expects her to marry a farmer and take care of her family.

Nancy lives for romance and imagination. She's plotting to get away. But her mother has secrets of her own and they're gathering like wolves. Braw Clan returns with another Scots language play after the success of Secret Wrapped in Lead, with So Long, Wee Moon by Martin Travers.
