Questa avvincente saga drammatica approfondisce gli angoli più oscuri della psicologia umana e delle dinamiche familiari, ambientata nel paesaggio aspro dell'Irlanda rurale. La serie esplora magistralmente le complessità dell'amore, dell'ossessione e della manipolazione con un realismo agghiacciante. Ogni narrazione porta alla luce verità devastanti su vite vissute ai margini, dove il desiderio di connessione si scontra con il potere distruttivo del passato. È una rappresentazione penetrante e inquietante che lascia un'impressione duratura.
