A lighthearted community comedy about scrappy Irish villagers using wit and scheming to save their town, built on charm and ensemble camaraderie rather than plot sophistication.

Upon discovering that their town is up for sale, crafty Irish villagers scheme to raise the money to prevent the buy-out. They hold a poetry contest with a tempting grand prize -- the deed to their local pub. But what could happen when a duplicitous American rapper emerges as the best poet around?
