Plot

A father, Sean McKenna (Cranitch), becomes obsessed with finding the body of his murdered daughter, Niamh. The murderer, Ronan Callahan (Dunford), is released from jail after serving a 15-year sentence. At first, he wants Sean off his land, but then decides to help dig for Niamh's missing body in the bog. Sean tells Ronan he must dig until he is dead, as a curse, but Ronan replies "I will", as a promise. He pours the old alcohol in his house down the drain, but - egged on by the aggressive police officer (Magee) who arrested him - eventually drinks shots in a pub, hoping to remember the act of murder and where he buried the girl. He develops a relationship with the victim's sister, Roberta (Taaffe). Ronan has flashbacks that revealed his father had abused his mother, who died when he was 14. Ronan and Sean vow not to stop digging. Ronan eventually remembers a detail that proves he is not the murderer.
