Am ersten Tag ihres Studiums in Dublin möchte Debbie nur eins: sich in den nächsten Zug setzen, der sie zurückbringt auf die Milchfarm, auf der sie großgeworden ist. Doch dort erwarten sie ein melancholisch-trunksüchtiger Onkel und eine depressive Mutter. Debbie bleibt keine Wahl – sie muss sich ins Unileben werfen und tut dies mit Wucht. Bis die Geschehnisse auf dem Hof sie einholen und die Fragen, wohin sie gehört und wie sie leben will, so dringlich werden wie nie zuvor. Nealon verhandelt ernste Themen auf berührende Weise: Trauma, Leid, Sex, Selbsttäuschung und die Angst davor, wozu man fähig sein könnte.
