    • Synopsis
    • Moll is 27 and still living at home, stifled by the small island community around her and
      too beholden to her family to break away. When she meets Pascal, a free-spirited
      stranger, a whole new world opens up to her and she begins to feel alive for the first
      time, falling madly in love. Finally breaking free from her family, Moll moves in with
      Pascal to start a new life. But when he is arrested as the key suspect in a series of brutal
      murders, she is left isolated and afraid. Choosing to stand with him against the
      suspicions of the community, Moll finds herself forced to make choices that will impact
      her life forever.
