Miche�l Burns lives alone in his family's bungalow at the end of Kerry Head in Ireland. It is a picturesque place, but the cliffs have a darker side to them: for generations they have been a suicide black spot. Miche�l's mother saw the saving of these lost souls - these visitors - as her spiritual duty, and now, in the wreckage of his life, Miche�l finds himself continuing her work. When his sisters tell him that they want to sell the land, he must choose between his siblings and the visitors, a future or a past.
