Bitter Sky follows the story of 15-year-old girl called Nia from Liverpool. She is estranged from her mother and living with her adopted father Roy in the rural and wild landscape of mid Wales. Nia befriends local lad Aron as they fix up a broken-down car that she has found in the woods, and she must build unlikely friendships and face her demons in order to break away from the coercive control of her adopted father.
