In 1825, on the eve of the Black War, Irish convict Clare Carroll works as a servant for a Colonial force detachment commanded by Lieutenant Hawkins. The unit is visited by an officer to see if Hawkins is fit for promotion. Clare, nicknamed “Nightingale”, sings and serves drinks for the men. After work, Clare visits Hawkins to make an inquiry, and he forces her to sing a special song for him. Hawkins makes unwanted advances to her and Clare rebuffs them.
Aidan suspects that Clare has been hurt and tries to persuade Hawkins to give the letter. That night, Aidan engages in a brawl with Hawkins, his second-in-command Sergeant Ruse, and Ensign Jago. The visiting officer witnesses the incident and decides that he is unfit for promotion. Hawkins commands Ruse and Jago to gather supplies for a journey through the bush to the town of Launceston, in hopes of negotiating with the officer.
Before departing, the soldiers intercept the Carroll family as they attempt to flee. Hawkins rapes Clare again and orders Ruse to do so as well, which he does. Hawkins shoots and kills Aidan, and commands Jago to quiet Clare’s crying daughter; he kills Bridget.
The following morning, Clare awakes. She reports the incident to an RMP officer, but realizes that he’s no help. She decides to seek revenge herself, with the help of an Aboriginal tracker named Billy. Clare tells Billy she wants to rendezvous with her husband who accompanies the colonial forces. Their mutual hostility dissipates as they learn about each other’s terrible losses.
Clare and Mangana stumble upon Jago, whom the tracker assumes is her husband. Clare corners Jago, stabbing and beating him to death, an event that haunts her later. A shocked Mangana considers abandoning Clare, but when he learns the reasons behind her quest for revenge, he decides to stay.
Clare confronts the newly promoted Hawkins as a mass murderer and a rapist in front of his fellow officers. Mangana watches in hiding as Clare seeks justice for all the atrocities they have faced. As the unforgettable tale comes to a close, Clare and Mangana find solace in each other’s company, seeking freedom and closure.
