A little island off Ireland. A small town. An old conflict. Fresh wind.

Twenty years ago, Tony Egan's sister went to America and nobody ever heard of her again. But now the message of her death arrives in her birth town, followed days later by her son Chad. Obviously, Chad's mother took an African-American husband. Chad soon falls for Aislin, who has a bit of a crush on him, but there is an old conflict between her father and Chad's uncle. This conflict resurfaces and begins to draw wider and wider circles.—Julian Reischl <[email protected]>
