Jobless, directionless and impotently angry at the world around him, Cormac finds purpose among the Mic Tíre - a far-right organization with aspirations to transform Ireland into a primitive idyll. His wife, Ailbhe, watches in horror as he disappears down the rabbit hole of radicalization, a process that transforms him into something more violent and monstrous than she ever could have imagined. Feral dogs howl outside the couple's home each night as Ailbhe struggles to leave the man she once loved, before his body contorts into something inhuman and he sets his newfound strength and bloodlust upon her.
