News of an old schoolfriend’s death sends Dara, Saoirse and Robyn away from their carefully managed adult lives and back toward a shared past. A trip to pay their respects becomes a chaotic investigation, with their friendship and long-held secrets under pressure. Dara’s identity and constrained personal life form one strand of the trio’s story. Expect an Irish comedy thriller about friendship, memory and the choices that linger, with a lesbian co-lead rather than a central sapphic romance. Sapphic lead: Dara in season 1; this is a friendship-led mystery rather than a couple-centred romance.
