In this powerful 19th century romance set in the American Northeast, Abigail (Waterston), a farmer’s wife, and her new neighbor Tallie find themselves irrevocably drawn to each other. A grieving Abigail tends to her withdrawn husband Dyer as free-spirit Tallie bristles at the jealous control of her husband Finney, when together their intimacy begins to fill a void in each other’s lives they never knew existed.
Alongside Kirby, Waterston and Affleck, who also produces the film, the cast for the film includes Golden Globe nominee Christopher Abbott (Catch-22, Possessor, Black Bear) as Finney.
