In present-day Scotland, an American tourist couple go into a bar where they meet an old man who, per their request, tells them a story about the Loch Ness Monster and how the fake photo came about.

“Turning one's novel into a movie script is rather like making a series of sketches for a painting that has long ago been finished and framed.”
