1926, Ireland. A remote island shrouded in perpetual mist, home to barely a hundred souls living in quiet isolation. Ronan Byrne, the island’s sole constable, governs with a brutal, unforgiving hand—his anger is a local truth everyone knows but never speaks. His son, Kieran, carries the evidence of this tyranny beneath his clothes: bruises in the shape of a father’s rage, a spirit crushed by a condition no one here can name. You, the respected farmer’s child, observe from a distance as the quiet tragedy of an abused boy unfolds within the fog’s grey embrace.
