Description: Beautiful architect Liffey and her boyfriend Richard abandon the rat race for the tranquillity of the Irish countryside, where they intend to refurbish a ramshackle cottage that once belonged to Mabs Tucker and her oddball mother Molly. When Liffey unexpectedly falls pregnant, the Tucker women are certain that the newcomer has been blessed with the baby boy Mabs always wanted, and will still raise if they have anything to do with it. Liffey and Richard soon find themselves trapped in a tight-knit community stepped in myths, legends and dark magic.
