Life is tough for a woman running a farm alone.
Only child Bethan moves with her family to a remote house at the foot of the mountains. She is soon mesmerised by a dysfunctional family farming nearby and befriends the wild daughter, Nia. Nia’s troubled and violent older half-brother Morgan both scares and fascinates Bethan, and as she grows to adulthood she gets pulled further and further into his world. A black sheep with nobody to love him, does a yearning for human connection lurk behind the invaluable help he offers, or something more sinister?
Psychological thriller set on farms on the Black Mountain in Wales in the 1960s and 1970s.
