Following the death of his beloved uncle, budding playwright Jack O’Toole becomes determined to write and stage a play about his Boston Irish family.  Initially Jack’s efforts meet with opposition from those about him, particularly his father Martin and cousin Billy.  Even Jack’s wife Kate is less than enthused.  But ultimately, Jack’s belief in the play wins out – the play is staged in the backroom of the local bar (in reality Waltham’s Skellig Pub) and family and friends gather round in support.  Writer/director Dave McLaughlin has made a warm, funny and ultimately moving film - a loving valentine to the Boston Irish.
