We were comrades once. Like brothers.

March, 1923. A brutal and bloody Civil War tears the country apart. Anti Treaty prisoners are held at Drumboe Castle in Donegal awaiting execution by firing squad.

With the clock ticking towards its inevitable conclusion, Fr. Stephen McDevitt pays a visit to prisoner Charlie Daly in an attempt to extract vital information that could not only save his life but also build a bridge of understanding between him and his former comrade in arms, General Joseph Sweeney.

Starring Denis Grindel, Patrick McBrearty and Sean Donegan this thrilling new original drama brings the tragic events of a century ago to life like never before, casting new light onto the shadows of our past.
