Adapted from the bestselling memoir of the same name by Amy Liprot, four-time Academy Award-nominee Saoirse Ronan stars in a searingly honest drama about addiction, survival, and the power of nature to restore life and renew hope, set in the beautiful, wild northern Orkney islands.
After a decade away in London, twenty-nine-year-old recovering alcoholic Rona returns home to the Orkney Islands. Sober but lonely, she tries to suppress her memory of the events which set her on this journey of recovery. Slowly the beauty and lore of the land enters her inner world and - one day at a time - Rona finds hope and strength in herself among the heavy gales and the bracingly cold sea.
