It is the year is 2020, and this story is set in Perth, Western Australia, during the COVID-19 epidemic outbreak. The principal character, a young man by the name of Alistaire MacDonald is given notice at his place of employment, a stockbroking firm.

The hardship suffered by losing his well-paid job leaves him an angry individual as it brings about him having to dispose of his luxury motor vehicle and move from a top-level unit in a prestigious seaside suburb of the city.

The fact that his boss went by the name of Duncan Campbell soon became the subject of obsession in his mind. Until being given his marching orders from his place of employment, he'd never so much as been aware that a location such as Glencoe existed.

But when told of the massacre at the highland clachan, by a friend, he studied up on the incident by reading from a publication purchased from a local bookstore. What he learnt from that book caused his already troubled mind to plot revenge on the Campbell clan for the atrocities committed by their ancestors in the year of 1692.

Using various weapons, including a club, a dirk and a shotgun, he set about seeking out and slaying those unlucky enough to bear the surname of Campbell. A local journalist, following his exploits, dubbed him the 'Glencoe Killer' in his media coverage.

Alistaire MacDonald, during his rampage of terror, believed in his disturbed mindset that people would come to recognize him in the same vein as the likes of Rob Roy MacGregor, William Wallace, Robert the Bruce, etc.

Detective Inspector Jack Carter and his team from the CIB Major Crime squad were handed the task of bringing the 'Glencoe Killer' to justice, but a strange quirk in proceedings resulted in a surprising finale.
