  1859. The people of a remote village on the Scottish coast await the arrival of the mysterious Sinclair, for whom Moffat, the local carpenter, is reluctantly building a house. He is persuaded to send his daughter to the mainland to fetch needed tools, but there is a massive storm and she is lost at sea. However, an unknown man is washed up on the shore, and all the resentments and mutual hostilities of this inward-looking community become - unjustifiably - focused on this 'found man'...With echoes of Ibsen and The Crucible , The Found Man offers a compelling and convincing portrait of a close-knit community divided against itself.
