About
Daisy and her father William live on an isolated sheep farm in rural Scotland. At twenty years old, she has never been outside the farmland, spending her time helping William with household tasks, upkeep of the farm - and keeping a dark secret. When a radio broadcast reports the disappearance of a young man, we begin to uncover what is binding Daisy and William to their land, and each other.
