Based on the novel by Eugene McCabe, "Death and Nightingales" is an epic tale of love, betrayal, deception, and revenge set in the Irish countryside in 1885.
Growing up, Beth Winters was caught between two warring parents, her Catholic mother Catherine having married her Protestant step-father Billy when she was already pregnant by an unknown Catholic man.
On her 23rd birthday, her mother long dead, Beth has planned to escape the claustrophobic grip of Billy and their closed community by running away with charming, mysterious Liam Ward. But with the hour of reckoning fast approaching, can Beth hold her nerve?
