In London, Fern O'Malley is on her way to rehearsals at the Globe Theatre when the same message shocks her to the core.

Danny O'Connor - once the golden boy of their secondary school and a member of their sixth-year drama group - has died suddenly at forty-nine, in their hometown of Belmullet on Ireland's Wild Atlantic Way.
As the friends return to the west of Ireland for the week-long funeral and memorial, old wounds are reopened and long-buried secrets rise to the surface. Emotions run high as drama unfolds. What truths have they been hiding from one another - and from themselves?
