Six friends. One long-awaited lads' getaway. An islet they were never supposed to be on.
Months of planning, one simple idea: a bank holiday reunion on Cape Clear with no partners, no work, no responsibilities. When the campsite booking falls through, a stranger in a crowded pub suggests an uninhabited islet just offshore. No campsite. No signal. Just open ground, woodland and the Atlantic.
A local fisherman agrees to take them over, but one catch: he won't return until Monday.At first, it's everything they wanted: barbecues, beers and the easy rhythm of old friendships. Then the weather closes in. Boredom takes hold. And one of the lads brings out Spike-13, a designer drug with a reputation for powerful effects.
As the weekend unravels, drunken laughter gives way to accusations, violence and a fire that consumes their camp. By Monday morning, several of the friends are dead, one is fighting for his life in hospital, and a witness has described the scene as demonic.
Cape Clear is an atmospheric thriller about friendship, regret and how quickly a perfect weekend can turn into a nightmare.
