A priceless Irish gift. A Storied Past. A promising future.

Frank McGrath is a mischievous and outspoken teenager who has a way of finding trouble.

In his twilight years, Liam is compelled to face a sordid past and the demons that haunt him. Along the way, and much to his great surprise, Frank comes to understand and love his grandfather as they find a common bond in each other's troublesome ways. Frank also learns that Liam is a Seanachie - or an Irishman given the gift of storytelling to pass on Ireland's lore and history. Both lives are transformed forever when, by a Dickensian twist, they end up in Ireland in the year 1846 during the potato famine
