Yearning for more than his small town can offer, John is pulled in different directions by his uncles: Uncle Matthew fills his head with tales of grand adventures, while Uncle William urges him to stay grounded in tradition. As John dreams of romance and excitement, he wrestles with the big question of whether to chase his ambitions or stay rooted, setting the scene for a tale of love and aspiration in a vibrant Irish world.
