The official synopsis reads:
“God’s Creatures” is set in a quiet, brooding Irish fishing village and follows the increasingly strained relationship between prodigal son Brian O’Hara (Mescal) and his mother, Aileen (Watson), when Brian suddenly returns home to his family after living abroad in Australia for seven years. After Brian is accused of an unspeakable act against a former flame (Franciosi), Aileen is caught between protecting her dear son and her own sense of right and wrong, driving her to near-madness.
