Conspiracy of Silence

Synopsis

Academy Award winner Brenda Fricker (My Left Foot) and Golden Globe nominee Hugh Bonneville (Downton Abbey) lead a stellar ensemble cast that also features Chris O’Dowd (Bridesmaids) and John Lynch (In the Name of the Father) in this heart-stopping story of love and faith amid a world of shadows and secrets.

In a small town in Ireland, life centres on the quiet comings and goings of families that have lived there for generations, and the highest hope of every mother is that her son is accepted into the local seminary. But when a young priest mysteriously kills himself, everything—and everyone—changes.

Tipped off to suspicious circumstances surrounding the suicide, local reporter David Foley begins digging around and connects the priest’s death to other unexplained incidents. While Daniel fights in vain to clear his name, Foley uncovers a cold-blooded and secret world that some would kill to protect. Then an insider leaks the news of the suicide and its cover-up to The Irish Times, and in the blink of an eye the world is watching…and now, everyone must decide if the truth is worth dying for. http://www.cosmovie.com
