We follow the dramatic life of a local rescue crew against the backdrop of Connemara's rugged coastline. On a stormy night, the crew is called up for a sea rescue mission. When they find the endangered boat, they discover a crew member, murdered and handcuffed at the helm, as well as a shipment of more than $1 million worth of drugs. In a time of recession and austerity, this unexpected windfall seems too good to leave or report. They decide to keep the drugs for their own financial gain. As a result, their lives plunge into a world of paranoia, violence and tragedy.
