Unless you've been searching for it, you've likely never come across the little Irish town of Bulgari. It's one of those never changing, little far away towns, tucked away in a part of Eire that has seldom been cursed with the blessing of tourists. It's here in this peaceful village, on a day in Spring that our story begins, in the cottage of Mrs Terence Malone and her family. They're all excited for the arrival of Tommy Malone who is coming back after nine long years away in America.
