The Briar Patch

The Briar Patch description

'I was starting to feel like my head was full of holes.'

Dara is learning to live with the blank spaces – conversations she can't remember, the occasional hallucination.

But when scandal rocks her community and a family friend is arrested, Dara starts asking questions. The answers risk pulling her life apart.

A domestic thriller about losing trust in the people closest to you, from playwright Ciara Elizabeth Smyth (Lie Low).
