On Erin Island, an idyllic rural fishing village off the coast of Ireland, Ciarán O'Shea, the charming but heavy-drinking local policeman, is tasked with greeting Lisa Nolan, a straightlaced young officer who has just arrived off the ferry. Not that there's much for them to do, aside from dealing with the occasional drunk, and that's usually o'shea himself.
But strange doings are afoot: the crew of a fishing boat disappears, whales start appearing dead on the shore, a local lobsterman catches a strange tentacled creature in his trap. Soon it becomes clear that there's something big out there, and that it's hungry. It's time to rally the villagers, arm the troops...and head to the pub.

Cheyenne, a wealthy former rock star living in Dublin, embarks on a quest to find his father's persecutor, a Nazi war criminal hiding out in the US. And so begins a life-altering journey across the heartland of America where he feels his spirit reawakened by the people he encounters, and his journey becomes one of self-discovery and reconciliation.
