WARNING: Spoilers ahead
After more than 20 years away living in America, Wendy Patterson returns home to Drumbán in Ireland with a big mission – to film a TV series based on Ireland’s ancestral history.
Now a hotshot producer, Wendy’s return to the quaint Irish town comes with the bright lights of a film crew – and while many are happy for the new business the filming will bring, others are more wary.
