The Irish countryside of the late 1970s is a place still haunted by
folklore and legend, by ghosts who rise from the fields on misty
nights, and by old secrets and even older hatreds. Michael, a shy,
quiet boy, grows up among the whispers and feuds of his small
community, little suspecting that his own family is caught up in
one of its darkest stories. But when a neighbour dies suddenly and
mysteriously, Michael cannot ignore the rumours that link his own
father to the dead woman. Searching for answers, Michael learns
that none of those he loves are quite what they seem. And he
discovers that becoming a man means that the choice between love
and abandonment, loyalty and betrayal, survival and death, is not
as easy as he once believed.
