In an alternate universe JJ left the Pogues to play basketball in the mainland. But he's come back to Kildare and not everyone is excited about it, particularly his ex-best friend, Kiara.
The phantom goes down and JJ, Kiara, and Pope are left to pick up what's left while sorting out the complicated feelings of what happened before. I.e. Kie kissing Pope and her being in love with JJ.
