The Butchers
A photograph is hung on a gallery wall for the first time since it was taken two decades before. It shows a slaughterhouse in rural Ireland, a painting of the Virgin Mary on the wall, a meat hook suspended from the ceiling - and, from its sharp point, the lifeless body of a man hanging by his feet.
As the BSE crisis ravages England and presents dangerous get-rich opportunities in Ireland, few spare a thought anymore for The Butchers, the eight men who roam the country, slaughtering by hand the cows of those who still have faith in the old ways.
Few, that is, except for Fionn, the farmer husband of a dying woman who still has that faith; their son Davey, who has fallen hard for the youngest of The Butchers; Grá, the lonely left-behind wife of one of the eight; and her 12-year-old daughter, Úna, who will grow up to carry a knife just like her father, and who may be the one finally to avenge the man in the photograph.
