Director and famed Irish actress, Geraldine Hughes keeps the accent on fun. In the blink-and-you-miss-it Northern Ireland village of Ardnaglass where cows, tractors, eccentric locals and bizarre farming accidents are all mentioned in the same breath, Hugh Frances O'Connell, a lovelorn pig farmer, and his childhood sweetheart Margaret Mary-Rose O'Boyle, a feisty barmaid, broadcast all the news that's fit to chew from their broken down community radio station located in Mickey Madden's mother's garage. Their lives are considerably altered by a BBC Intern from Argentina.

Directed by Pam MacKinnon (Peter and Jerry, Bach at Leipzig), the two-person cast features Gideon Banner and Michael Esper.
When Benjamin's (Banner) first novel vaults him into literary stardom, his friend David (Esper), a struggling playwright, is thrilled for his newfound success...or is he? Should Benjamin help David by using his new connections? Can David even expect such favors from his friend? And, most importantly, who should pay for lunch?
