Bess, een naïef, kinderlijk meisje dat gelooft dat ze in direct contact staat met God, is opgevoed in een streng religieus Schotse plattelandsgemeenschap aan het begin van de jaren '70. Wanneer zij verliefd wordt op Jan, een arbeider op een olieplatform en man van de wereld, trouwen zij tegen de wil van de dorpsgemeenschap toch met elkaar.
