Synopsis

The sleepy Irish town of Mountfern is suddenly transformed one day when Ferncourt, a large house burnt down during the Troubles, is bought by an American with dreams of turning it into a hotel for American tourists. To many he appears attractive - but to others dangerous. The author is also a playwright and won two Jacob Awards and Best Script Award at the Prague Film Festival for her television play "Deeply Regretted By". She has also written "Light a Penny Candle" and "Echoes" which has been made into a Channel 4 television series.
