In this historical drama, an abused and angry Irish convict heads out into the Australian wilderness in search of revenge. Despite the "revenge plot" being the overarching story that's holding the movie together — complete with some violent moments — it's not the usual hyperbloody, hyperstylized revenge flick we've gotten used to. Instead, it puts our protagonist (played by Aisling Franciosi) front and centre and allows us to follow her story without flinching away and without losing a sense of humanity. It pushes the story forward without feeling forced and gives us real character development instead of standard-issue "revenge thriller" plot points.
