Set on a remote Scottish island, two siblings (Gayle Rankin & Grant O’Rourke), survive by hunting sea-birds, re-telling the stories of their ancestors, and defending the isle from dreaded ‘Incomers’. Their world is up-ended with the arrival of an awkward council worker (Domhnall Gleeson), who has come to uproot them from their homeland.
