β¦ Synopsis
Moving from the city to live in rural Ireland was out of necessity rather than choice for unemployed architect, Ben Parrish, his wife Leah and their three children. Ben takes care of their two-year-old twins, Anna and Josh, and five-year-old son Rob, while Leah runs a hairdressing salon in the village. It is a demanding way of life, leaving no time for Leah and Ben to share the secrets they both harbour.
Until one bleak November night when a rejection, a row and a violent storm change the course of their lives. In the aftermath they know they must each face their own truths before they can move forward together.
That is when the dream of a rural idyll becomes a nightmare
