Since the death of her parents, PEGGY CASEY has not only been running her father's pub, Tigh Casey, located by a lake in a small rural Gaeltacht, she has been doing a great job of keeping it open. She does not understand how her sister CARLA and her brothers JEROME and HUGO want to sell the pub and live their lives elsewhere. Peggy realizes that selling would mean the end of her family, and she is determined to stop them. 

Just as things are coming to a head, with Hugo returning so they can finally vote on the future of Tigh Casey, a body is found under the receding waters of the lake. It is generally assumed to be a forgotten grave from the old cemetery,  part of the ghost village located at the bottom of the lake. But when Detective FRANK RYAN is sent from Dublin to investigate, it is understood that more is involved. Not only does the detective's arrival indicate that the area is in bad shape, which Peggy is not happy about, but his questions also shed light on the Caseys' difficult relationship.

During this hot, dry weekend at the end of September 1975, Detective Ryan's investigation will not only reveal the terrible truth behind the dead woman's story, but will also reveal the deepest secrets of the Casey family.
