The Shadows Between Memory and Truth
In the heart of suburban Dublin, three twelve-year-old children race through ancient woods on a golden summer day in the 1980s. By nightfall, only one returns-Adam Ryan, found trembling against an oak tree, shoes soaked with blood, memory a blank slate. His friends Peter and Jamie vanish without a trace. Twenty years later, Adam has reinvented himself as Detective Rob Ryan, deliberately burying his past beneath a carefully constructed persona. When the body of twelve-year-old Katharine Devlin is discovered on an archaeological site at the edge of those same woods, Rob's carefully maintained walls begin to crumble. The parallels are unsettling: another child, same woods, same inexplicable circumstances. As Rob investigates Katy's murder, he's forced to confront not just a new crime but the ghostly echoes of his own buried trauma. "I am a detective," he tells us, voice carrying both authority and uncertainty. "Our relationship with truth is fundamentally broken." At its core, "In the Woods" explores how trauma shapes memory and identity. Rob's inability to remember what happened twenty years ago isn't just a plot device-it's a realistic portrayal of how the mind protects itself from overwhelming experiences. Throughout the investigation, Rob experiences memory fragments that surface unpredictably. He recalls the "bikers"-Jonathan Devlin and his friends-who hung around the woods when he was a child. When Rob finally returns to the woods at night, he remembers that after Jamie revealed she was being sent to boarding school, Peter proposed they run away together. Rob recalls feeling "light and lucky and wild," running faster than ever before, the forest alive around them. But as they approached the river, something changed-willow branches swaying and "eyes, golden and fringed like an owl's."
