It’s been 15 years since a single act of sudden violence ripped the Lynch family apart.
Since then, those left behind retreated into the routine of normal family life –
whatever that means.

Tonight, Nial Lynch comes home.

It quickly becomes clear
that the ghosts haunting this family
have only been lying in wait.

The knives are out tonight.

(And not to cut the quiche.)
