In 1825 Tasmania, a young convict woman, Clare, chases her former master through the Tasmanian wilderness to avenge a terrible act of violence he committed against her and her family. On the way, she is accompanied by an Aboriginal tracker named Billy, and they unite in their hatred and trauma of their violence-filled pasts.
