Former IRA operative Erin Morrigan (Olwen Fouéré) is dying in a remote safe house on the Northern Ireland border. Unsettled by the arrival of a fugitive teenage boy (Jake Doyle), who resembles a man she once loved and condemned, Erin reluctantly gives him refuge. The boy becomes her carer and confessor, an unready witness to her harrowing reckoning with conscience, loyalty, and the ghosts of the past.

A haunting meditation on violence, remorse, and redemption, and an unflinching portrait of a woman confronting the wreckage of a life after war, and the slim hope for grace that lingers in its aftermath.
