The first-ever Irish language horror film unfolds in the bleak landscape of post-famine Ireland as Éamon and his daughter Máire take up residence as caretakers of a remote Georgian Mansion during the harsh winter. Their task, initially serene, veers into terror as they encounter inexplicable phenomena and an uninvited and unwanted guest. The film explores the depths of human resilience in the face of unspeakable horror, presenting a nuanced portrayal of survival and the complex ways the mind adapts to protect itself.
