Summary

As families across the world were gathering for Christmas morning in 2008, a concerned son-in-law in Newry, Northern Ireland, was trying to reach his elderly mother-in-law. She hadn’t been answering her phone, and worry had set in. Deciding to check on her in person, he made his way to her home on Dublin Road. But when he stepped into her quiet house, he was met with a sight so horrific it would haunt him—and the close-knit community—for years to come.
