The Last Ferry to Galliagh
In 1912, a dockside clerk in Derry is drawn into a dispute over land, labour, and loyalty when his brother vanishes after a strike turns ugly. As the city tightens around rumour and old grievances, he has to decide whether keeping his head down is still possible, or merely another way of choosing sides.
