A gritty moral reckoning set in rural 1970s Ireland, where a weary assassin confronts the weight of his past amid political violence and community bonds.

In a remote Irish village, a damaged Finbar is forced to fight for redemption after a lifetime of sins, but what price is he willing to pay? In the land of saints and sinners, some sins can't be buried.
