It's August 1939. Europe's on the brink of war, but Ireland's staying neutral. On a day trip to Drogheda, Dubliner Tadgh Steele is captured by a dairy farmer named Murphy. Is Tadgh a poet as he claims, or is he a Nazi spy? Dolly, Murphy's slop girl, falls for the handsome stranger and casts him as the hero of the "film in her head."
In Dublin Noir, private fantasies and widespread paranoia collide, revealing a shadow war of gendered violence simmering just beneath the surface of global conflict.
