Set in the wild mountains of Connemara, unworldly recluse John Cunliffe (Donall O Healai) is suddenly propelled into manhood at the ripe old age of 28. When his over-protective parents pass away, John inherits mountain land that is in the way of a lucrative wind-farm development, and he is forced to navigate the choppy waters of romance, trust and vengeance for the first time.
