Ellen is a widow working a dying selection on her own and becoming more desperate day by day. Even the most respectable person can fall from grace and Ellen does so in spectacular fashion. When three desperate men arrive on her farm seeking shelter, Ellen's life changes forever and soon she finds herself wanted by police and on the run in the Australian bush. The Widow is an examination of the false romance of outlawry and the depths we can fall to when forced into desperation and isolation, with lashings of adventure, history, passion and danger.
