Plot
A father (Lorcan Cranitch as Sean McKenna) becomes obsessed with finding the body of his murdered daughter Naimh. The murderer Ronan Callahan (Moe Dunford) is released from jail after serving a 15-year sentence. At first he wants Sean off his land, but decides to help dig for Naimh's missing body in the bog. He pours the old alcohol in his house down the drain but eventually drinks shots in a pub, hoping to remember the act of murder and where he buried the girl. He develops a relationship with the victim's sister Roberta (Emily Taaffe), and it is revealed that his father had abused his mother, who died when he was 14. Ronan and Sean vow to not stop digging. Ronan eventually remembers a detail that proves he is not the murderer.[4]
