Synopsis

When Sarah witnessed the murder of her father in a London back alley, her life was shattered. Moving far away from the city was the only thing that seemed to make sense. But moving your life can't always change your life. An overwhelming sense of loss has left Sarah's family damaged and divided. When the power fails during a muted New Year's Eve celebration in their remote mountain home, the family soon realises that something devastating has occurred. Vulnerable and alone, Sarah and her three younger siblings must learn to survive in a new and uncertain world. Struggling for food, insecure and reeling in a search for meaning, the family is yet to face its deepest challenge - the past.
