In 1954 New Zealand, Nellie and Daisy try to escape an institution for delinquent girls, but are caught and sent to a remote island facility. There they meet Lou, a privileged new arrival, and the trio struggles under the strict rule of the devout Matron. Skeptical of Bible-backed discipline, they find solace in friendship. Reform isn’t easy when you don’t think you need it. But when secret punishments begin at night, Nellie and Daisy plan rebellion.
