About

To land a big promotion, environmental consultant Kate Ryan (Orla Brady, Mistresses, Into the Badlands) agrees to an unusual assignment: going undercover in a small West Cork town to quell objections to a new wind farm. However, Kate has a complicated history with Carrigeen, having spent a formative time in her youth there. When Kate returns to town, pretending to be on vacation with her teenage son, she quickly sees that opposition to the project is fierce. And after running into an estranged friend (Eileen Walsh, Catastrophe) and an old flame (Steve Wall, Vikings), Kate realizes her task won't be a breeze. If she can't smooth over her professional and personal problems, this assignment might very well blow up in her face.

The fantastic cast in this charming Irish dramedy also includes Sorcha Cusack (A Discovery of Witches, Father Brown) and Patrick Bergin (Sleeping with the Enemy, Patriot Games).
