Young Irishwoman Nell earns her living by writing travel articles about places she has never visited. With a vivid imagination, writing is her passion. She never met her grandfather, the renowned poet Phil McDaragh, yet his verses resonate deeply with her. Nell's mother, Carmel, is also intimately familiar with these poems. She has long struggled to reconcile the public image of the poet and his work with her personal memories of him as a father. Now, it falls to Nell to seek the reconciliation that eluded her mother.​
