When a history major takes her boyfriend to Ireland on spring break to trace her genetic roots, she thinks the Cóiste Bodhar (Death Coach) may be coming for her at a long-cursed Bed and Breakfast.

SYNOPSIS:

ELLEN RORKE (21) is a history major determined to trace her ancestry in Ireland of spring break, with the aid of her African-American boyfriend, RILEY JAMAINE (21), a handsome philosophy major. It’s a cold rainy night when their taxi, driven by a crude gay Dubliner, CELESTINE O’OMALLEY (25), gets stuck in the mud outside their gloomy B&B. Ellen gets caught up in the folklore and assumes the Cóiste Bodhar (Death Coach) may be coming for her.

The owners of the dreadful B&B, ANNIE DORAN (75) and her brother, SEAMUS (77), are bitter for not being paid by the online booking agency. A tall, stone Irish cross in front of the cottage and a rocking cradle in the loft begin to divulge the eerie history of the cottage as a home for unwed mothers and their babies, where everyone led punishing, torturous lives, where runaways would have their kneecaps. Owners, Annie and Seamus both walk with a limp.

After a night of chilling stories and Irish whiskey, the three visitors wake to find their ankles are chained to each other. Matters are made worse when Annie learns Celestine is gay, and Riley is an atheist, and both get their kneecaps slammed by the butt of her shotgun. Attempts to escape are futile. A hidden drawer under the coffee table reveals darker secrets about Annie, Seamus, their “changeling” son, and the many deaths at the cottage. The captives are doomed.

A glimmer of hope arrives in the form of an elderly, slovenly policeman, OFFICER PADDY (61), who appears to help Riley escape. Office Paddy, armed with only a nightstick, explores the cottage in the dark. Ellen tells him about the shocking evidence in the coffee table drawer. Hope fades when Officer Paddy is captured at gunpoint by Annie.

Celestine painfully removes her chains and follows Riley’s escape route only to find him face-down in the bog, lifeless, and with a bloody skull. She trudges back to the cottage to warn Ellen that Office Paddy is a killer, only to find Seamus being burned on the Irish Cross by Officer Paddy and Annie. Celestine is shot in her taxi as she runs over Annie and wounds Paddy.

Officer Paddy appears to befriend Ellen, but she is wise to him. She deduces that Officer Paddy is the “changeling” – the mentally disturbed son of the incestuous relationship of Annie and Seamus, and the cause of all the mysterious goings on. He attempts to kill her, but she kills him instead. Driving Celestine’s taxi back to town, Ellen finds a stumbling Riley holding his bleeding head. They see the Death Coach coming for Annie, Seamus, Officer Paddy, and poor Celestine, while police cars come for them!
