Coosan native, Lisa Dwan, will be the focal character in RTE’s latest drama ‘Blackshore’ when the first episode airs on Sunday night at 9.30pm.
Dwan plays the chief role of DI Fia Lucey, a laser-focused, ambitious detective who is haunted by her tragic past – a past she keeps locked away and unexplored.
After a series of “undue force” allegations, Fia is banished from her high-octane position to a rural backwater – uncomfortably close to her hometown. While there, she is charged with investigating a missing person case: a woman from Blackshore who has disappeared in mysterious circumstances. The case brings a reluctant Fia face to face with her traumatic past and back into the fold of a community who are still processing the unwelcome attention that her historical case brought to the town: a town that remains steeped in its own secrets and lies.
Blackshore is a dark thriller that explores the DNA of one town’s relationship with shame, guilt and the price of success. Filmed in Killaloe, Co Clare, the mystery thriller is from the creators of RTE hit ‘Smother’ and is produced by Treasure Entertainment.
Enhancing her acting repertoire, Dwan has previously featured as a regular cast member in ‘Bloodland’ and ‘Top Boy’.
