Eddie is a small-town hawker who dreams of a business of his own
Treated as little more than an errand boy by his employer John Power, the godfather of the local traveller community, his modest ambitions seem far beyond his grasp
Until Power becomes obsessed with a young traveller girl, Kathleen
But on the night of their wedding Kathleen elopes with Power's nephew, Dermot
And £11,000 in dowry money
Eddie aids their escape and finds himself inextricably embroiled in the violent consequences ...
Award-winning writer Billy Roche and director Gillies Mackinnon create a strange compelling world on the edge of society
