História baseada em fatos reais, de um navio de carga de 8000 toneladas da Políticia SS que encalha na Ilha de Eriskay durante ventos fortes. Os ilhéus privados de whisky saqueiam o navio naufragado e fazem o seu melhor para esconder o saque da Guarda Municipal.
The film details the story of the inhabitants of the isolated Scottish island of Todday, in the Outer Hebrides, where gloom sets in as their wartime rationing of whisky runs out. When cargo ship the SS Cabinet Minister runs aground the shrewd islanders run rings around the buffoonish English Home Guard commander Captain Waggett (beautifully played by Eddie Izzard) and conspire to hide away cases of the precious amber nectar.
