Esta plaga de almas

Nealon returns from prison to his home in western Ireland to find it empty and cold. There is no trace of his wife or his young son. It is as if the world has abandoned him. He has barely had time to process the situation when the phone rings. On the other end of the line, a man claims to know where his family is and what has happened to them. In exchange for a conversation, he promises to share all this information with him. It is an offer Nealon cannot refuse: the man seems to know every detail of his past life. Finally, they arrange to meet in a hotel lobby, an encounter that will be fraught with secrets and unknown dangers.
