The Mires
In a coastal New Zealand town, three women from different backgrounds become neighbors, their lives intertwining. Keri, a single mother, navigates life with her children, including teen Wairere, who possesses a unique ability to sense the world's hidden dangers. Their community is tested when a troubled young man arrives, bringing with him an unsettling presence that only Wairere can perceive. As friendships and prejudices clash, the fate of their interconnected households rests on Wairere's journey to embrace her true self and unite them towards a hopeful future.
