Widowed Kieran Johnson (James Caan) is a high school history teacher in Chicago. His sister struggles to take care of their mother Fiona Flynn with dementia and her teenage son Jack. Kieran takes Jack back to Ireland to search for their roots. In Kilronan, he discovers that his teenage mother Fiona fell in love with poor farm worker Kieran O'Dea (Aidan Quinn) who may be his biological father.
The performances are lovely. James Caan starts it off with really nice character work. The flashbacks have Aidan Quinn doing solid work. He delivers a gruff charm. Moya Farrelly is a sweet newcomer. This is a fine Irish love tragedy with good performances anchoring it.
