Description
In Dublin 1986, a shocking murder sets off a chain reaction that challenges the very fabric of the city's power. A young officer is found dead in a notorious gay cruising ground, and the investigation is met with reluctance from some quarters. Detectives Vincent Swan and Gina Considine are determined to uncover the truth, but their own secrets threaten to compromise the case. As they delve deeper into the mystery, they must navigate the dark underbelly of Dublin's nightlife, where the lines between truth and deception are constantly blurred. Meanwhile, a second fire rips through Temple Bar, claiming another victim, and Gina is forced to confront the consequences of her own silence. With its gripping portrayal of 1980s Dublin, The Burning Boy is a tense and atmospheric thriller that explores the complexities of human relationships and the devastating cost of secrets kept.
