Early one October morning, Grace’s mother snatches her from sleep and brutally cuts off her hair, declaring, 'You are the strong one now.' With winter close at hand and Ireland already suffering, Grace is no longer safe at home. And so her mother outfits her in men’s clothing and casts her out. When her younger brother Colly follows after her, the two set off on a remarkable odyssey in the looming shadow of their country’s darkest hour.
The broken land they pass through reveals untold suffering as well as unexpected beauty. To survive, Grace must become a boy, a bandit, a penitent and finally, a woman – all the while afflicted by inner voices that arise out of what she has seen and what she has lost.

'Haunting and poetic… Lynch has given us poignant glimpses of the human body’s limits, that peculiar messiness of identity, and what happens when parts of a society fail to help, or even acknowledge, those in need.' (The Irish Times)
'Grace is a moving work of lyrical and at times hallucinatory beauty.' (The Washington Post)

And everybody knows the devil is fire so God is the devil and thats the case proven…Perhaps Colly is right, perhaps fire doesn’t die because fire is both God and the devil, always waiting behind the air in some other chamber of existence waiting to rush in and turn everything black with its hunger’
‘Slow travel, no point rushing away along the roads because a man who is in haste misses his own life ‘
