It is 1883, an ageing seanchaí (storyteller) traveling the byways of Ireland rests and regales some locals with the tale of a forgotten Iron age hero. The mighty Celtic warrior, Taran, charged with the protection of Queen Una of Inis. Taran receives a new commission, a desperate plea by Una to protect her child at all costs when she learns that her husband, King Eogan, has instructed his troops to take the child, afflicted from birth with a spine deformity, into the lair of wolves and leave him for dead.

For the people on the rugged Irish island of Winding Gale, life has always been hard. Now in the wake of the second World War, the island is dying, the young taken away by death or the appeal of better lives elsewhere, leaving behind only a handful of adults. But on the night the men of the island disappear while fishing in uncharted waters, the women are forced into a conflict with something both new and unfathomably old. A strange greenish mist rolls in, cutting off the island from the mainland. Spiral symbols appear in the sand, fashioned from dead fish and stones.
