• Synopsis

  The year is 2022. Ireland is in the midst of an unexpected economic boom. The country's debts have been repaid in full, the people are once again selling houses to each other for five times what they're worth and Bertie Ahern is set to become Taoiseach again at the age of 71. Ross O'Carroll-Kelly is entering his middle years without a care in the world. He's got a son who's a professional footballer, a career-minded wife who's about to land the job of her dreams and, like good Cognac, his looks just keep improving with age. For Ireland's most eligible married man, life is good. Until his teenage daughter arrives home from Wesley one night with the captain of the Blackrock College rugby team and Ross is forced to face up to the lesson that you must reap what you have sown.
