“In Ireland’s darkest hour vengeance shines a light”

Drama

In 1847, when Ireland is in the grip of the Great Famine that has ravaged the country for two long years, Feeney, a hardened Irish Ranger who has been fighting for the British Army abroad, returns home to reunite with his estranged family, only to discover the cruelest reality, a black land where death reigns.

VIBE

A harsh, unforgiving historical drama steeped in the desperation of famine. It's a grim, visceral journey of a man pushed to his limits, seeking brutal retribution against those who wronged him. Expect a bleak, yet propulsive, fight for survival.
