When journalist Patrick Bracken returns to Gohen, the Irish community where he was born, he is aware of the sight of the townspeople are on him. He has get back to investigate two fatalities that happened years previously when he was a kid, deaths that were ruled accidental. But Patrick is aware of - and believes the whole town is aware of - these were murders. He is aware of because he and his closest friend Mikey Lamb were witnesses. Therefore Patrick would go to see 80-year-old Sam Howard, the attorney who conducted the inquest into the death of missionary priest Jarlath Coughlin. As he questions Sam and Sam's radiant, loving, gossipy partner Elsie, he seeks acknowledgment of any cover-up and an explanation of why the Protestant establishment would help conceal a offense among Catholics. During their give-and-take - concerning this and the nearly simultaneous shotgun death of Lawrence Gorman (aka Doul Yank) - what emerges from other collective memories are a pungent, wry family portrait of community life in Ireland and a tangle of human being romantic relationships, some twisted and some that show our better aspect.
