The Party needs the revenue from Shetland's oilfields to keep the country from fiscal disaster - and to keep itself in power. When a Free Shetland movement gains momentum, the Scottish Intelligence Services must sabotage it, and Carol Rutherford, the narrator, is the person sent to Lerwick to achieve this.
