Frank Fogle, "a widower," reluctantly embarks on a journey——to honour his wife's last wish of spreading her ashes in a remote lake in her native Ireland. And a promise of taking his estranged son, Sean, along for the——trip. As Sean steps out of prison the "last thing on his mind is a foreign road trip with his alienated father." What he needs is a fresh start in the United States. But when his travel plans collapse he reluctantly accepts his father's proposal in return for a ticket——to the West Coast and "a promise that they never have to see each other again."
