A new lay preacher arrives at a British settlement in 1830s New Zealand. He soon finds himself in the middle of a long-standing bloody conflict between two Māori tribes. When his faith is tested and his past catches up to him, he is confronted with a choice. A beautifully shot epic historical tale from the multi-award-winning director of Once Were Warriors.
