"In 1920, deep in the New Zealand bush, a settlement of Christian
fundamentalists lives a life of austerity and isolation. It is an existence that
leaves little room for compassion, particularly for the women, who are viewed
with suspicioun on account of ""Eve's original sin."" The elders lord over
women, children, and young men alike, meting out punishments for transgressions
as innocuous as self-reflection. Sisters Juno and Hannah have grown up in the
community, but when a stranger washes up on the river bank and Hannah goes to
his aid, she finds herself accused of necromancy. The girls flee but are quickly
forced to accept help. Unsure of who is friend and who foe, Hannah finds herself
dependent upon, and attracted to, the man she brought back to life. The sisters'
breathless journey reflects the vividly portrayed New Zealand landscape with its
abundance of beauty and resources, but also with scars wrought during the early
days of colonization."
