"The curator wants to know if there's a limit to what she will burn? Will she really burn anything?"
"Of course," Vinny replied, "anything you like."
In a small seaside village in South Kerry, Martha Knox develops an unlikely career burning emotionally charged objects and photographing the results. Her clients travel far and wide with things they need destroyed. But relationships in Martha's new life become increasingly complicated with the arrival of curator, Kingsley, who is considering her work for his renowned Berlin Biennale. Kingsley also has something for Martha to burn-something rather unusual.
A frenetic tale of art and the value of obsession; fame and the price of envy; friendship and the uncertainty of love.
