BÁITE (‘The Drowned’)

PEGGY (Eleanor O’Brien) has been running the family pub in Connemara since the death of her parents. She is fighting her sister and her brothers who want to sell the pub and move out. 

Just as things are coming to a head, a body is found under the receding waters of the nearby lake. It is generally assumed to be a forgotten grave from the old cemetery, part of the ghost village located at the bottom of the lake and Detective FRANK RYAN (Moe Dunford) is sent from Dublin to investigate. 

During this hot, dry weekend in the summer of 1975, Detective Ryan’s investigation will not only reveal the terrible truth behind the dead woman’s story, but will also reveal the deepest secrets of the Casey family.
