In 1849, a young girl grows suspicious about how her father has been providing for them as famine tears through their community. Faced with the grim reality of eviction and starvation, the father has teamed up with a group of ‘wreckers’ – men who destroy the homes of evicted tenants on behalf of a landlord. Determined to discover the truth of how he has been providing for them despite the hardships they’ve been dealt, the young girl must confront his choices and fight for what she believes in.
