In 1940s Australia, a nine-year-old Aboriginal boy (Reid) is found roaming the outback alone and taken to a remote monastery for indigenous children.
Sister Eileen (Blanchett), who runs the monastery, observes that the unnamed boy has incredible powers and a spiritual connection which contradicts her teachings.
