The Blackwater Lightship

Set in Ireland in the 1990s, The Blackwater Lightship follows three generations of estranged women who reunite when Declan, a young man living with AIDS, becomes terminally ill. Joined by two of Declan’s friends, the family is forced to confront old conflicts, care for one another and reconsider what family can mean.
