Following the death of their mother, Chris’ brother Will (Jack Greenlees, TV’s Penny Dreadful) runs away to get married, leaving Chris to tend to the family farm and fend for herself against their abusive father, John (Peter Mullan, TV’s Red Riding Trilogy). Believing she finally found happiness, Chris marries Ewan (Kevin Guthrie, Fantastic Beats and Where to Find Them), who enlists in the army to fight in The Great War, once again leaving Chris to tend to the family farm by herself.
