  It is May Eve, a traditional Irish pagan festival, and Knocknashee is alive with magic, mayhem, merriment and menace. Patrick Annan, a physically disabled artist, Brigid Carey, a recovering drug addict, and Hughie Dolan, a lonely rural misfit are drawn together to celebrate by the forces of this forgotten culture. Whilst these three extraordinary people seek friendship, solace and even love, the unforgiving landscape threatens to disgorge a terrible secret.
