A compelling story about roots, belonging and kinship set against the powerful backdrop of two houses in Kintyre. When twins, Rathlin and Breacán Doherty, approach their twenty-seventh birthday, they come together after a long time apart to fight for their beloved Ballynoe, a house that is rich in folklore and which holds the ghosts of their parents. They slowly reveal their own secrets and uncover family lies that are shocking, far-reaching and tragic in their consequences.
