“Rose-Lynn is a lass from Glasgow,” Buckley said in an interview with Deadline, “and you meet her at the [start] of the film just as she’s coming out of prison for chucking heroin over the [prison] fence in order to fund her dream and her passion, which is to go to Nashville and become a country music singer. But alongside that passion, she also has two kids, she’s a mother, and she’s in the dilemma of wanting to go on a journey but also being limited by her life in Glasgow. She goes on a journey of identity, I suppose.” Here’s the official synopsis:

Rose-Lynn Harlan is bursting with raw talent, charisma, and cheek. Fresh out of jail and with two young kids, all she wants is to get out of Glasgow and make it as a country singer. Her mum Marion has had a bellyful of Rose-Lynn’s Nashville nonsense. Forced to take responsibility, Rose-Lynn gets a cleaning job, only to find an unlikely champion in the middle-class lady of the house. A comedy-drama about mothers and daughters, dreams and reality and three chords and the truth.
Starring alongside Buckley is Julie Walters and Sophie Okonedo. The film was one of several films picked up by Neon after its premiere at the Toronto International Film festival in the fall of 2018.
“Wild Rose” is set for a May 2019 release here in the U.S..
