Aoife Ni Bhraoin returns home to help her father Brendan ‘The Bear’ O’Briain recover from a heart attack. They are distant but day to day get along just fine. But as we dig a little deeper, we find that there is so much that has been left unsaid. Aoife has never grieved properly for her Mother who died when she was only sixteen. Over this summer she gets pulled back into the competitive world of rowing in Naomhóg boats traditional to the area. She lets herself become close to the three women in her crew but as the big race approaches Aoife feels an unbearable strain, years of suppressed grief and sadness, that could seriously wreck their chances of success.
