Description

It's the feast of Samhain (Halloween) in Ancient Ireland and in the large hall of his castle, King Conor MacNessa (Oscar nominated actor Stephen Rea) is alone with his memories. As ruler of ancient Ulster, King Conor has been a powerful King who has ruled through violence and intimidation of his people and craved the legend that has been built around him by his Chief Poet, Aherne (Ian McElhinney). But on the night of his murder, his legend is called into question by the ghosts of his past, those he destroyed, and those from whom he now seeks forgiveness and redemption. But can a hero warrior and ruler of Ulster, forsake his past?
