The film follows 29-year-old Rona (Ronan) as she returns home to the Orkney Islands after a decade away, and "sober but lonely, she tries to suppress her memory of the events which set her on this journey of recovery".
"Slowly the beauty and lore of the land enters her inner world and – one day at a time – Rona finds hope and strength in herself among the heavy gales and the bracingly cold sea," the synopsis adds.
As well as Ronan and I May Destroy You's Paapa Essiedu, the movie also stars Game of Thrones' Stephen Dillane and Slow Horses' Saskia Reeves, with Nora Fingscheidt directing.

The original memoir was released in 2015 and follows Liptrot as she returns home to the Orkney Islands to recover. It won a number of awards, including 2016 Wainwright Prize and the 2017 PEN Ackerley Prize.
As well as The Outrun, Ronan has a busy 2024 coming up, with the actress also due to star in Steve McQueen's Blitz alongside The Iron Claw's Harris Dickinson and Peaky Blinders' Stephen Graham.
She is also lining up a role in satirical comedy Bad Apples, which follows a primary school teacher who makes a questionable choice regarding a pupil.
The Outrun will be released in UK and Ireland cinemas on Friday, September 27.
