Thomas Reid, a 55-year-old Irish farmer, lives and works on the land of his ancestors. He leads a solitary life, wearing threadbare clothes and maintaining his farm with weathered hands. However, his quiet world is disrupted when a powerful multinational corporation, one of the world’s largest computer chip manufacturers, eyes his land for expansion. Despite mounting pressure and legal battles, Thomas refuses to sell, determined to protect his heritage and way of life. His struggle transforms from a personal fight into a larger exploration of power, principle, and resistance.
