The team travel to the Shetland Islands to visit a remote outcrop known as the Kame of Isbister that has a series of enigmatic structures. They are the first archaeological team ever to investigate the crumbling headland, and with the fast rate of erosion possibly the last. They hope to prove the settlement was either a Monastic retreat or a leper colony.

Led by three fearless archaeologists, the team explores some of the toughest and most inaccessible regions to extract unique historic artifacts. Dr Alice Roberts, Katie Hirst and Dr Meg Watters will use their physical and mental guile to uncover untouched prehistoric sites.
