The Good People

Set in 1825 Ireland, this story follows three women—each linked by mysterious and troubling events in a remote valley—whose lives become intertwined as they grapple with superstition, tradition, and community fears. Nora Leahy, a widow caring for her damaged grandson, along with Nance Roche, a local doctress, find their beliefs challenged by a new priest intent on eradicating superstitions. As their efforts to address misfortune and protect those they love escalate, their folkloric practices grow increasingly risky, putting everything at stake. Based on a true story, the narrative explores themes of faith, superstition, and the power of community amidst the darkness of uncertainty.
