In early years of 18th century, Scotland is torn by religious and political strife. The sinner, justified by his Calvinist conviction that his own salvation is pre-ordained, is suspected of involvement in a series of crimes. A century later his memoirs reveals truth. The tale illustrates effect of self-righteous bigotry on a fanatical character.
