One dark, rainy evening in Dublin, Eilish Stack, a scientist with four children, answers the door to two officers of the GNSB, the secret police the government has just set up. They want to question her husband, Larry, a trade unionist. Ireland is coming apart under a government sliding into tyranny, and soon Larry has disappeared. Eilish is trapped in the deranged reasoning of a society that is collapsing around her, pushed about by forces she cannot control, and she must decide how far she is prepared to go to hold her family together and keep them safe.
