In this episode, we travel to the remote hills of Connemara- to the year 1882, when darkness fell not only over the village of Maamtrasna, but over the soul of a nation.

In a small thatched cottage near the border of Mayo and Galway, 5 members of a single family were brutally murdered- a crime that sent shockwaves throughout Ireland and beyond.
