Dan and Kate first met as children. Now they are married, in love, parents to a boy and girl, and expecting another child. But when Meg is born, trust is replaced by suspicion and anger, and Dan retreats to Ireland, seeking to understand what has happened to his family. And there, as the story dives into the past, his bewilderment is revealed to have ancient roots.
