In the hills over yon Eire, there are sheepmen still herding flocks for a living. And, some gibber Gaelic rather than the King's language.

This is the slow-burn story of a sheep farmer and his son who experience being rustled by their next-door neighbor. This, of course, slowly turns into a violent affair.

Chris Abbot and Colm Meaney are the victims of herd mutilation and rustling. This is NOT the norm for their area. The film is more complex than what I am summarizing and has background themes concerning both families.

The performances are strong and there are a few "squeams" in it so beware.
