Based on Graham Norton’s acclaimed novel, this darkly comic story of love, secrets and loss explores – with searing honesty and sharp wit – the complexities and contradictions that make us human.
The remote Irish village of Duneen has known little change or drama. Time doesn’t pass here; it seeps away. Yet its inhabitants are troubled. Sergeant PJ Collins hasn’t always hidden away, filling his days with comfort food and half-hearted police work. Mother-of-two Brid Riordan hasn’t always been an alcoholic. The elegant Evelyn Ross hasn’t always felt that her life was a total waste. So, when human remains are found, Duneen’s dark past is waiting to unravel. Stru "ling to solve a serious crime for the first time in his life and connect with the village he has tried so hard to avoid, PJ is about to unearth a community’s worth of anger, resentment and regret.
