Plot Synopsis

Based on Eugene McCabe's book of the same name, DEATH AND NIGHTINGALES is a three-part historical drama set in the haunting countryside of 1885 Fermanagh, Northern Ireland. In this undivided province of the British Empire, neighbors observe each other and inform. It's a world of spies, confessions and double dealing, where a pervading sense of beauty is shot through with menace and impending doom. Set over a desperately tense 24-hour period, it's Beth Winters' 23rd birthday -- the day she has decided to join the charming Liam Ward and escape from her limited life and difficult Protestant landowner stepfather Billy. As decades of pain and betrayal build to a devastating climax. DEATH AND NIGHTINGALES had its U.S. premiere on Sunday, May 16, 2021 at 10pm ET/PT on Starz.
