A tender, bittersweet reconciliation between estranged childhood friends set against the backdrop of Northern Ireland's Troubles, balancing humor and heartfelt emotion.

Two boyhood best friends are divided by 25 years of misunderstanding amidst the escalating conflict in Northern Ireland. The two boys’ lives take very different paths until Joe returns for the first time to his homeland with his 24-year-old daughter, Patricia. In his absence, Paddy married Joe’s former fiancée Mary. What happened all those years ago? Can old wounds be healed? The answer is hilarious and moving in equal parts.
