56 DAYS AGO
Ciara and Oliver meet in a Dublin supermarket queue, just as COVID-19 begins creeping across Ireland. A spark. A chance. A distraction-from everything they're trying to outrun.
35 DAYS AGO
With lockdown looming, Oliver suggests they move in together. For Ciara, it feels like a rare opportunity to let a relationship bloom in total privacy. For Oliver, it's the perfect way to keep his past-and his true nature-hidden.
TODAY
Detectives force their way into Oliver's apartment and find a body decomposing inside.
As they untangle a relationship built on secrets and half-truths, they face the ultimate question: Did lockdown give birth to love-or the perfect murder?
