IRELAND, 1972

Fresh college graduates Debbie and Marygray trade their diplomas for adventure, leaving Knoxville, Tennessee behind to work in an Irish castle. When their American ways clash with British sensibilities, they're abruptly fired without pay. Rather than flee home defeated, the spirited friends hit the road, determined to make their Irish summer last.

Their journey plunges them into Ireland during The Troubles, a period of intense political upheaval. What begins as carefree exploration becomes a dangerous game of cat and mouse—first evading an unexpected IRA encounter, then fleeing persistent co-workers who won't take rejection lightly.

Amid the chaos, Debbie falls passionately in love with charismatic basketball legend, Paudie O'Connor. Their steamy year-long romance transforms her, forging the strong, confident woman she ultimately becomes.

Set against Ireland's breathtaking landscapes and turbulent history, this coming-of-age adventure celebrates friendship, courage, and the life-altering power of unexpected love.
