Mystery based on the true story of one man’s search for justice on a remote Irish island, blending documentary and drama.
When Neville Presho returns to Tory Island after many years overseas, he gets the shock of his life – his house has vanished. All that remains is a bathtub, lying upside down on the shore. Neville first came to the remote Irish island in the 1970s and made a documentary about the islanders' traditional way of life, their culture and language. Neville felt warmly welcomed – now, he faces a wall of silence.
Some talk mysteriously of a whirlwind and a strange glow in the night sky, others say Neville would be better off not asking. No one will tell him what happened, not even the island’s King. Neville sets out on a search for justice, but his quest will come at great personal cost. Neville ...... Tony Flynn Fiona ...... Fo Cullen Mary Meehan ...... Carol Moore Patrick Doohan ...... Seán T.
