Spoilers ahead
On a remote Scottish island in 1944, during the height of World War II, a small and secluded convent called St. Augustine’s Monastery becomes the setting for a tense and haunting story. The few nuns living in this isolated place lead a life of austerity and routine, cut off from the chaos of the outside world. One stormy night, as clouds gather and wind howls, a mysterious cloaked figure appears at the monastery’s doorstep, leaving behind a wicker basket with an infant boy inside. There is no note or indication of where the child came from, only the dark night and the raging storm as witnesses to this strange delivery.
