In 1985, Bill Furlong, a dedicated coal merchant with a humble lifestyle, stumbles upon secrets held within the walls of a local convent in rural Ireland. These disquieting revelations not only shake the foundations of the tight-knit community but also unearth hidden truths about Bill's own past. As he grapples with his discovery, he is confronted by the pervasive influence of the Catholic Church that has maintained a veil of silence over the town for far too long. The film delves into themes of faith, family, and the courage to stand against the odds, as Bill's journey compels him to confront not only the church's power but also his own personal demons. Amidst the rich tapestry of Irish culture and the intricate dynamics of a small town, this story presents a powerful narrative that questions the price of silence and the human will to seek truth in the face of adversity.
