It’s rare for anything dramatic to happen in the remote Irish village of Duneen, but its inhabitants are troubled. Sergeant PJ Collins hasn’t always been overweight; mother Brid Riordan hasn’t always been an alcoholic; and Evelyn Ross hasn’t always felt that her life was a waste. So when human remains are discovered on an old farm, those of Tommy Burke – a former lover of both Brid and Evelyn – the village’s past begins to unravel. As the frustrated PJ struggles to solve such a complex case for the first time, he unearths years’ worth of anger, resentments, secrets and regret. Apparently, the community has an unexpectedly dark underbelly.
