An eclectic group of people converge on Galway city for the start of the horseracing festival The Galway Races, all hoping this famous week will be the week that makes their hopes and dreams come true. But, the wages of sin are manifold…
Politician Minister Keane and his driver Creed rush to get to Galway for the opening of the Races. Horse trainer Noel Lacey argues with his jockey Liam Reilly about how his prize horse will perform Sinead and Eamonn devise the quickest way to dig themselves out of crippling debt.
Sraith bunaithe ar eachtraí agus ar imeachtaí a tharlaíonn le linn Rásaí na Gaillimhe. Tá deifir ar an Aire Keane agus ar a thiománaí Creed chuig na rásaí. Bíonn an traenálaí Noel Lacey ag achrann lena mharcach Liam Reilly faoin tslí le rith a bhaint as an gcapall is fearr aige. Cuireann Sinéad agus Eamonn plean i dtoll a chéile chun na fiacha móra atá orthu a ghlanadh agus faigheann an geallghlacadóir Eoin Boland faoi réir don tseachtain is gnóthaí sa bhliain.
