A young woman leaves the workhouse to seek a new life on a remote moor, finding beauty, danger, and love in the rugged countryside.
Set in a stark, windswept landscape, Sareel follows a sixteen-year-old girl as she steps into the unknown. From the moment she leaves the only home she has ever known, she faces new duties, strangers, and a future that could change everything.

It balances daily hardship with intimate moments of choice, trust, and quiet strength as Sareel navigates a world that tests her resolve and awakens unexpected possibilities.
