Cette saga dramatique captivante plonge dans les coins les plus sombres de la psychologie humaine et de la dynamique familiale, dans le paysage austère de l'Irlande rurale. La série explore avec maestria les complexités de l'amour, de l'obsession et de la manipulation avec un réalisme glaçant. Chaque récit met au jour des vérités dévastatrices sur des vies vécues en marge, où le désir de connexion se heurte au pouvoir destructeur du passé. C'est une représentation poignante et troublante qui laisse une empreinte durable.
