Quick Synopsis
After completing rehab, Rona goes back to the Orkney Islands, located off the coast of Scotland, where she grew up surrounded by rugged and striking scenery. At 29 years old, she leaves behind over ten years of a risky lifestyle in London, where she experienced both love and heartbreak. Back in Orkney, Rona faces her difficult past by revisiting the landscape tied to her childhood, as memories of early trauma and recent struggles come together, influencing her journey toward healing and recovery.
Detailed Synopsis of The Outrun
Fresh out of rehab, Rona returns to the Orkney Islands—a place both wild and beautiful, right off the Scottish coast. Now 29 and after more than a decade of living life on the edge in London, where she both found and lost love, Rona attempts to come to terms with her troubled past. As she reconnects with the dramatic landscape where she grew up, memories of her traumatic childhood merge with more recent challenging events that have set her on the path to recovery.
