The small Irish town of Drumbán gets the intrigue and excitement of a lifetime after a Hollywood production rolls into its residents’ already secretive lives. It all begins when Wendy Patterson (Hendricks), a local girl who found success as a Los Angeles television producer, returns to her hometown after 20 years to confront the past, her film crew behind her. 

She then comes face to face with Séamus Proctor (Considine), the town’s respected doctor, who harbours a big secret he has been keeping to himself since the Millennium. Wendy, however, appears to be aware of what he’s hiding. Massive secrets are spilled in the process, as the cameras start rolling and host Dylan Thuras reveals the town’s hidden wonder.
