On All Souls’ Day, the naked body of a young woman Nicole (Eva Birthistle) is found on a beach. Seven years later, her mother Madie (Jayne Snow), obsessed with finding out what happened on that fateful day, visits her daughter’s boyfriend Jim (Declan Conlon) in prison. As memories surface, and Madie and Jim embark on a search for truth and redemption, they stumble upon a sinister truth. Gilsenan creates a sense of deep unease with this intelligent and formally unconventional work.
