Plot Overview
Summerwater is set in a rain-drenched holiday cabin park in the Scottish Highlands. The narrative weaves together multiple perspectives of holidaymakers whose simmering tensions rise toward a devastating climax.
The series "explores fleeting beauty, quiet resentments, and the unseen pressures beneath ordinary lives — all culminating in a single, shattering day by the loch."
This drama promises to examine the complex layers of human relationships amid the striking, oppressive atmosphere of the Highlands.
Author's summary: The series Summerwater portrays delicate human emotions and latent conflicts set against the scenic yet tense backdrop of the Scottish Highlands.
