We start with a fairly traumatic car accident that goes some way in explaining just why, many years later, the sheep farming “Michael” (Christopher Abbott) is living with his immobile dad (Colm Meaney) and living a fairly unfulfilled life. Their neighbour calls to advise that a couple of his rams have been found dead on their farm and so when he goes to investigate, we meet “Caroline” (Nora-Jane Noone) who used to be his girlfriend before she left him for “Gary” (Paul Ready) and they had son “Jack” (Barry Keoghan). With no evidence of the corpses, he heads to the market to buy replacements only to find that his neighbours haven’t been straight with him and that there’s quite enough history here to ensure that “Michael” keeps his mouth shut. Meantime, things aren’t proving much better for the couple next door as their farm is struggling to pay it’s way and when their young son comes up with an unilateral scheme with his thuggish cousin “Lee” (Aaron Heffernan) to raise, rather brutally, some extra cash then things turn violent and dangerous now with just about every element of trust out the window! This isn’t a mystery for the squeamish as it highlights some of the real difficulties
