Storyline
In the 1950s, while carrying out his duties as chief pathologist at the Dublin City Morgue, the reclusive and sour Quirke pursues a solitary life, treating his depression by frequenting Dublin’s dingy taverns and alleyways. Though, Quirke’s inherent curiosity to learn the truth quickly sends him on a tour of Dublin’s less savory districts, where he encounters unsolved problems from his own history that are best left unattended. As he starts to uncover discrepancies during routine tests, however.

“Adapting a book is nerve-wracking because there's an audience who loves the book, and what if they see the movie and hate it?”
