 In Ireland, Ciárán cares for his father Fergus, who is near death. Fergus asks him to heal the long-standing rift with their American relatives. Ciárán contacts Barry, a cousin in New York, who agrees to visit. Initial meetings suggest that Fergus’s wish for reconciliation may be filled. Fergus dies, and his will reveals that part of his estate is to be left to Barry, causing clashes between the cousins, with disagreements over inheritance and belonging. Despite repeated conflicts, Ciárán and Barry gradually begin to understand each other. By the end, the two reach a tentative truce, hinting at the possibility of reconciliation.
