On 4 January 2005, 11-year-old Robert Holohan left his home to play on his bike in Midleton, Co Cork and never returned. What began as a desperate search for a missing boy quickly became one of the most emotionally charged murder investigations Ireland had ever witnessed. Thousands turned out to look for him. Gardaí deployed every resource available. For a week, the country hoped against hope. Then came the devastating discovery: Robert had been killed. The search for the young boy soon became a hunt for a killer. The eventual truth would prove to be more devastating than anyone had imagined.
