Plot

In the windswept, Irish coastal town of Glencolmcille, haunted ex-assassin Finbar Murphy seeks penance by leading a peaceful life.[1] He has carved out a new identity, tending to his pub and savouring the quiet. But the ghosts of his violent past refuse to stay buried.

When Doireann McCann, an IRA terrorist on the run, arrives with her brutal cohorts, the fragile peace shatters. The group seeks refuge, unaware of Finbar's history. In an act of vigilante justice he kills Doireann's brother. Fuelled by vengeance and grief, Doireann and her gang terrorise the villagers, culminating in a horrifying act of abuse against a young girl. Witnessing this injustice forces Finbar into a terrible choice: remain hidden and protect his own peace or confront his past and risk everything to defend his newfound home.

A relentless game of cat and mouse ensues, testing the resilience of the villagers and pushing Finbar to the brink of moral reckoning. Torn between his desire for redemption and the violent skills he loathes, he must decide how far he is willing to go to protect the innocent and face the consequences of his past.

As the final showdown looms, Finbar confronts not only Doireann and her deadly vengeance, but also the demons of his own soul. In the harsh landscape of In the Land of Saints and Sinners, one man's path to redemption leads him through a brutal crucible, where saints and sinners collide in a desperate fight for survival.
