Synopsis

Set in rural Ireland, an ongoing rivalry between two farmers - Michael (Christopher Abbott) and Jack (Barry Keoghan) - suddenly turns into an out-and-out battle. Triggering increasingly brutal events, we examine the impact of generational trauma and toxic masculinity as they collide in devastating ways.
