Based on 'Jane Rogers' acclaimed novel, Island is about a woman who seeks revenge for a childhood spent unloved in care. A tale of yearning and retribution.
Abandoned at birth, Nikki Black has spent most of her life in care sustained only by fairy-stories. Incapable of love, fearful and desperate for revenge, she decides to find her birth mother, confront her, and bitter enough to consider murder. She travels incognito to a remote Scottish island where Phyllis, her mother, now lives as a recluse with Calum, her son. She becomes conflicted as her murderous intentions toward her mother are upset by her increasing affection for her sibling, who shares her love of storytelling.
