What do we know about the plot?
The Vanishing Triangle takes its story from the incidents that collectively made Ireland's Vanishing Triangle - a term most commonly used by media outlets to refer to the unsolved murder mysteries of high-profile women in the 1980s and 1990s. As per the records, ten women have been declared missing, while three have been found murdered.
The unassuming circumstances around the mysterious disappearances have found themselves inspiring a six-part television series by AMC Networks’ Sundance Now and Virgin Media Television, the local broadcaster in this case. Meanwhile, AMC Network provides an elaborate description of the show according to the synopsis below.
"Investigative journalist Lisa Wallace (Mullen) publishes an article about her mother’s murder, which sparks the disappearance of Amy Reynolds. Alongside Detective David Burkely (Leech), the two work together to find Amy. Their investigation takes them around Ireland, as more girls go missing. As they follow every lead, some end up dead ends, but all the while, the killer plays psychological torture games with Lisa, putting her in compromising situations."
It continues,
"As they get closer to finding the killer, David and Lisa learn more about the long-rooted corruption in the Gardaí system. To cover their tracks, high-ranking Gardaí members blackmail David with his own secrets. The investigative trail finally leads Lisa to the killer, where they face off again after all these years. In the end, she must confront her childhood trauma in order to save the missing girls.
The Vanishing Triangle is a term that describes a geographical area over which the unsettling string of unsolved disappearances takes place. The titular triangle refers to a location outside Dublin of roughly 80 miles in radius - in the eastern part of the island country.
The upcoming AMC+ series features India Mullen (Normal People) and Allen Leech (Downton Abbey, Bohemian Rhapsody) in lead roles while Adam Richardson, Sarah Carroll, Fionnuala Murphy, Philip O'Sullivan, Maura Foley and Kiera Crawford take supporting roles.
