Summary

in 1975 two boys are playing out by the ruins of the old Mother and Baby Home in Tuam, Galway, ireland. They find a hole filled with very small bones. They tell everyone what tehy find and it is assumed that this is a famine grave. It's sealed up and ignored for 40 years until someone starts questioning what happened to the 796 children that died in The Home. Get ready for a very Irish scandal.
