Ro McCarthy is content in her lack of worldly success. Single, in her fifties and working a quiet job, she is consoled by her love of books and her long and deep friendships. Although she still doesn't approve of marriage - not even for the straights - she is campaigning for marriage equality in the 2015 referendum. As she becomes addicted to knocking on doors, the ghosts of her youth will force her to confront a trauma and fury she had to bury a long time ago. Thirty years earlier, Ro was a 22-year-old Cork woman living her best life in 1980s Boston. Escaping unemployment and homophobia at home and in the hope of 'becoming less of a langer' in America, Ro was undocumented and working multiple jobs, a voracious reader, forming life-long friendships and falling in love with Jenny.
