Ireland is enjoying a great economic boom, with visitors coming across the pond to enjoy a few pints, some traditional music, and to see one of its majestic stone castles dating back to the Middle Ages. Only Tír na Cara receives not a single visitor on account of the small village having nothing worth coming to see. And doesn’t that get Rory Dolan thinking. To the rest of them, Rory is the village eejit, a young man whose heart is larger than his brain. But he is determined to turn things around - for the economically distraught village, yes, but also to redeem his own regrettable past. And so he concocts a scheme to cultivate tourism by building a great Norman castle and convincing the world that it’s been there all along. Only he must get the others to join the dubious effort, causing disaster at every turn. Undeterred, Rory is intent to resolve age-old disputes in order to build a promising future, even if it means tinkering with their past.
