After more than two decades away, private detective Ed Loy
returns from L.A. to his hometown of Dublin for his mother's
funeral. But his grieving soon takes an unexpected turn when
his old classmate Linda Dawson pleads with him to find her
missing husband, Peter. As if a worried wife with a
seductive persona weren't enough to keep Loy occupied, his
childhood pal turned small-time criminal, Tommy Owens, shows
up on Loy's doorstep with a hard-luck story and a recently
fired gun. When Loy finds an old photograph of his long-missing father
on Peter Dawson's boat, and a corpse is discovered in the
foundations of the local town hall, things begin to get
personal. Then a murky property deal linked to the Dawson
family not only threatens to expose the corrupt secrets
concealed behind the great gates of the mansions on the
hill, but also leads Loy to the land below, a violent
underworld of drug dealing, extortion, and murder presided
over by the notorious Halligan brothers, local purveyors of
organized criminal mayhem. As he tries to lay the dead to rest, the case becomes a dark
obsession, and Ed Loy finds that the truth of the present
can only be fully understood by uncovering the secrets of
the past, and that in Ireland, everything -- and everyone --
is connected.
