Warning: Spoilers
The series is based on the hugely popular series "Quirke" by Benjamin Black. A crime series is set in Dublin in the 1950s. Quirke, played by Gabriel Byrne, is the Chief Pathologist in the Dublin City Morgue. Quirke is a powerful character and he is fascinated with the secret of cadavers' deaths. Gabriel Byrne plays the conflicted Quirke who is a consultant pathologist and by night, a hard drinker.

When he discovers the death of a woman that has been covered up by his brother, he goes on a journey to discover the truth, which he hopes will quench the personal guilt and anguish he suffers. Where it leads him to is a lot closer to home than he imagined.

The series is very actual,as it shows the controversial operation of the Catholic Church in Ireland at that time.
