It is 1985 in the run-up to Christmas in a small town in County Wexford, Ireland. Bill Furlong (Murphy) toils as a coal merchant to support himself, his wife and his five daughters.

Early one morning while out delivering coal, he discovers disturbing secrets kept by the local convent — and uncovers truths of his own — forcing him to confront his past and the complicit silence of a small Irish town controlled by the Catholic Church.
