A brutal, historically grounded revenge drama set during the Irish Famine, where a soldier's homecoming becomes a descent into violence and despair amid systemic cruelty.

In 1847, when Ireland is in the grip of the Great Famine that has ravaged the country for two long years, Feeney, a hardened Irish Ranger who has been fighting for the British Army abroad, returns home to reunite with his estranged family, only to discover the cruelest reality, a black land where death reigns.
