Mortimer Hehir, el tejedor de un pequeño pueblo irlandés, ha muerto, y sólo dos ancianos, el picapedrero Cahir Bowes y el fabricante de clavos Meehaul Lynskey, pueden encontrar la tumba de su clan en el lúgubre y ancestral cementerio de Cloon na Morav -el Prado de los Muertos-, donde únicamente las familias más antiguas del lugar tienen derecho a ser enterradas.
