Synopsis:

Kieran Johnson discovers some papers that suggest that his father may not be who he thought he was. His mother is paralyzed and cannot tell him anything, so he travels to Ireland to track down the poor farmer who could be his father. Once there he befriends two Irish girls who introduce him to a couple of "travelers" (Irish gypsies) who hold the secret to Kieran's past and the "Romeo and Juliet" story that tore his family apart back in 1939.
