Saoirse Hennessey is a 25-year-old art graduate at NUI Galway. She's started teaching art at her old secondary school in her old hometown Mullingar. Her world isn't perfect and surely has been hard, but she's content as to where she is right now. Will an old stranger make things easier, or complicate them?

Niall Horan has the awful need to get his feet back on the ground. After the One Direction 'hiatus', he travels from hectic and turbulent Los Angeles back to his hometown in Ireland. But, he hasn't been back in five years. Do the people still accept him as he is?
