Dràma goirid airson òigridh. Tha Marley, aois 10, a’ falbh na dùthcha còmhla ri màthair ann an carabhan. Cha deach ì riamh dhan sgoil; tha am màthair, Sìneag, ga teagasg. Tha an dithis aca gu math dòigheil còmhla, a’ tighinn beò le bhith reic uighean. ‘S ì Marley a bhios a’ coimhead as dèidh nan cearcan aca – agus an coileach crosda, Jimmy.

Ach chan eil cùisean an còmhnaidh furasda dhan teaghlach neo-àbhaisteach seo. Tha tuathanach suarach a’ feuchainn ri ‘n ruaigeadh bho ‘n achadh aige. Agus chan eil è idir a’ còrdadh ri Marley gu bheil an tuathanach, Ùisdean, a’ cumail na cearcan aigesan fo ghlais. Nach bu chòir do dh ‘eòin a bhith ruith mu chuairt gu saor, sona?

Nuair a tha Marley a’ tachairt ri Murdaidh, balach òg às a bhaile, tha ì ag ìnnse dha dè tha fainear dhith airson làmh an uachdar fhaighinn air an tuathanach.

Ach am bheil còir aig Marley earbsa a chuir ann am Murdaidh? Agus dè thachras ma thèid a glacadh? Le na cleasaichean òga Zoe Drysdale agus Matthew Gilmour Wright, còmhla ri Catriona Lexy Chaimbeul, Daibhidh Walker agus Calum Dòmhnallach. Air a stiùireadh le Tony Kearney.

Ten-year-old Marley and her mother are travellers, pitched up for the summer in their eccentric caravan. They scrape a living by selling eggs while Marley cares for their brood of hens, and her rather crazy pet cockerel Jimmy.

Marley has no time for the local chicken farmer, not just because his hens are all kept locked up but because he wants Marley, her mum and their beloved caravan cleared off his land pronto. But it’s their home!

When Marley meets local boy Murdy, she confides in him and tells him of her plan to get one over the rotten Farmer Hugh. But can she trust Murdy? And what happens if Marley is caught in the act?
