A traveling harper finds himself drawn into a web of ancient loyalties and modern dangers in the Irish countryside. When his path crosses with both hunters and the hunted, he must navigate between old traditions and contemporary conflicts. The musician discovers that his art connects him to powers and people he never expected to encounter. As tensions escalate around him, he faces choices that will determine not only his own fate but the destiny of those he has come to care about. At its heart, this is a story about the bonds between unlikely companions and the price of standing with others when the stakes are highest.
