For investigative journalist Carl Shewan, the Scottish coastal village in Inverlair is a picturesque cage. Imprisoned in this remote refuge by a technological catastrophe for which he feels partly responsible, Carl struggles to adapt to impending fatherhood and to a harsh new existence in an ancient landscape, until a childless gamekeeper offers him an alternative to guilt and alienation. Set in the near future, 'Lie of the Land' examines the claustrophobia of small-town life and questions how far the state will go to preserve an orderly society, on in which ubiquitous surveillance has reduced human life to a virtual experience.
