Director Amit Gupta teams with Welsh author Owen Sheers to adapt Sheers' gripping novel set in 1944 in an alternate history where the Nazis have occupied areas of Britain, and a small Welsh village is about to awaken to a shocking surprise. All of the men in the village of Olchon have vanished without a trace, including Sarah Lewis' (Andrea Riseborough) husband Tom (Michael Sheen), a respected farmer. Could they have left under the shroud of darkness to join the Resistance? As the women nervously ponder the fates of their absent husbands, a German patrol appears in Olchon on a clandestine mission. When the winter weather takes a turn for the worst, the local women and the German troops are forced to rely on each other for survival.

Amit Gupta directs this adaptation of Owen Sheers' debut novel starring Andrea Riseborough and Michael Sheen. It's 1944 and D-Day has failed. The United Kingdom is now under Nazi occupation. In the remote Welsh village of Olchon, farmer's wife Sarah Lewis (Riseborough) wakes up one morning to find her husband has mysteriously disappeared along with all the other men in the village. Then, as they wait for news, a German patrol arrives in their valley on an undisclosed mission. During the harsh winter that follows, the two groups are forced to pull together to survive the last days of the war. Cut off from the conflict around them, both the villagers and the Nazis find the lines between collaboration, duty, occupation and survival becoming less defined as time goes on...
