Samhain: The Sea's Dead
Episode 267: It's a particularly stormy summer on Achill Island. A shipwreck has made a widow, an orphan or a bereaved parent of every family. The sea always avenges the fish taken from it. Moya Lavelle is one such recent widow, but she has a very different relationship with the sea than any of the other islanders. Is she from the mainland, or is she of the sea?
