A brutal, unflinching revenge tragedy set in colonial Tasmania that grapples with trauma, violence, and the moral cost of vengeance through the bond between two damaged survivors.

In 1825, Clare, a 21-year-old Irish convict, chases a British soldier through the rugged Tasmanian wilderness, bent on revenge for a terrible act of violence he committed against her family. She enlists the services of an Aboriginal tracker who is also marked by trauma from his own violence-filled past.
