Synopsis

After leaving rehab in London, Rona (Saoirse Ronan) returns to the wild beauty of Scotland’s Orkney Islands after almost a decade away. As she reconnects with the dramatic landscape she grew up in, memories of her childhood mix with those of the more recent past as she embarks on the path to recovery.
