Ten years ago, Nessa Crowley died during a violent storm on the island of Inisrun. Her body was found in the garden after Henry and Keelin Kinsella's party at their big house. The storm had cut off the island from the mainland. No one could have escaped, yet no one was charged with her murder. The islanders know who they blame for the crime that changed everything. Now a documentary team comes to the island. They want to uncover the truth about what happened that night. The filmmakers focus on Henry and Keelin Kinsella, determined to find evidence of Henry's guilt and Keelin's role in covering up the murder. As the crew digs deeper, they threaten to destroy the carefully built lives the Kinsellas have constructed over the past decade. The investigation forces the island community to confront the deadly secrets they have kept buried since that stormy night when Nessa's life ended.
