OVERVIEW

    Declan Hughes 

  • Setting

    A holiday cottage somewhere on the West Coast of Ireland, from Halloween Night until dawn the following morning.

  • Synopsis

    It is Halloween Night and George has invited his closest friends to a remote holiday cottage on Ireland's west coast.

When their only visitor enters bearing bad news, the bizarre revelations and gothic events spiral to a cataclysmic finale.
