Did she murder Chase in self-defense? Or was it an accident?

Memorable moments: the movie is a beautiful depiction of North Carolina.

Name of actress: Daisy Edgar-Jones leads the cast, she is a British actress, born in 1998. She is n her early twenties so she hasn't won any major awards and has not starred in many movies yet. I think this film is her major breakthrough.
