Synopsis

Detective Antoinette Conway, a member of the Dublin Murder Squad, finds her career and sanity teetering on the edge. Plagued by relentless harassment from her male colleagues, she's dismissed as paranoid and difficult. Her latest case seems routine: a young, beautiful woman named Aislinn Murray found dead in her home, the scene staged to look like a lovers' spat gone wrong. However, Antoinette recognizes Aislinn from a past encounter, and the more she digs, the more anomalies surface. Her seasoned partner, Stephen Moran, is her only ally as they navigate a web of secrets surrounding Aislinn's seemingly simple life. As pressure mounts from within the squad to close the case quickly by arresting Aislinn's boyfriend, Antoinette becomes convinced that her colleagues are not just undermining her, but actively trying to obscure the truth. Is her paranoia justified, or is she truly losing her grip? 'The Trespasser' is a tense, psychological thriller exploring themes of gender bias, professional isolation, and the corrosive nature of suspicion, set against a meticulously crafted murder mystery.
