Fear príobháideach agus léiritheoir gnóthach teilifíse é Tomás ar maith leis cúrsaí a choinneáil socair agus in ord is in eagar. Bíonn sé féin agus a bhean Siobhán agus a leanbh muirneach ag stopadh ina dteach saoire scoite ar oileán amach ón chósta thuaidh a mhinice agus a thig leo. Ní théann siad amach trí mhuintir an oileáin. Níl de dhíth ar Thomás ach an suaimhneas. Agus sin a mbíonn aige go dtí go bhfaigheann sé scairt phráinneach óna chuid oibre - tá feidhm leis ar ais ar tír mór.

Níos moille an lá céanna, filleann Tomás ar an oileán agus tá a bhean agus an leanbh ar shiúl, gan tásc ná tuairisc, gan a dhath fágtha ina ndiaidh. Labhaoise an t-aon phóilín amháin atá ar an oileán, í aosta go maith agus ar scor. Fiosraíonn Labhaoise an scéal agus faigheann sí amach nach bhfuil nithe mar a measadh. Tá doineann tuartha an oíche sin agus cuardaíonn siad an t-oileán. Tagann siad ar charr tréigthe na máthar agus corpán ar an trá. Corpán fir.

Tomás, a busy TV producer, is a private man who likes to keep things quiet and ordered. He takes his wife, Siobhán, and their beloved baby son, Oisín, to their secluded holiday home on a north coast island as frequently as he can. They don't go out, they don't interact with the locals – he just wants to enjoy the peace. And he does, until he receives an urgent call from work – he's needed back on the mainland.

Later that day, Tomás returns to the island to find that his wife, their baby and all traces of them are gone. An investigation by the island's only police officer, the elderly Labhaoise, exposes that all is not as it seems. With a storm forecast for that night, they search the island only to discover something: his wife's abandoned car and a body on the beach. The body of a man. Show less
