"Harry made this family. Without him we're just, I don't know, a collection of people who know each other, up to a point."
Five years ago, world famous children's writer Harry Golden went missing from his home in Leitrim. Now, as his remains are finally discovered, his two troubled daughters meet in their childhood home to bury their father. Clara is looking for a fight, Nora's uneasy marriage to Danny is ending, their oldest friend Rob is trying to keep the peace, while local undertaker Jack has ghosts of his own to contend with.
"We had a happy childhood. Here. In this house.
We did have a happy childhood. It was lovely. I'm thirty five. You can't sit in your happy childhood polishing the bloody memorabilia for ever."
