It’s a dark evening in early November 1847.
A carriage makes it's way through lawless starving countryside in North Roscommon.
A gun shot rings out, a man falls dead.
A family mourns but a community rejoices.
While the Great Hunger of the 1840s resulted in one million deaths, this one murder encapsulated the stark choices facing that generation of Irish people in a one gripping story. It is retold in this episode.
