In the lush Irish countryside, a family of women torn apart by the past gathers to confront their history. Grandmother Maeve, her daughter Helen, and granddaughter Sabine all harbor deep wounds and unanswered questions after years of separation. As they navigate the tangled web of their relationships, they must decide whether to confront the past or let it continue to divide them. At the heart of this multi-generational saga is the powerful bond between mothers and daughters, and the ways in which we hurt the ones we love most.
