Synopsis
Jack McCarthy left Ireland for America 20 years ago when his business failed and he had to get out in a hurry. Now he is called home by his father, Larry, who says he’s dying. Finding his father apparently fit enough to hit golf balls in a field of cattle, Jack is furious, but decides to stay in Cork. The two have not spoken to each other for twenty years, returning to live together will not be easy.
