In the sleepy Irish village of Ballysnavougherenn, it’s just a normal day of chip making and town cranking for the humble and impoverished O’Flanerhyn family. Things take an unexpected turn, however, with the arrival of their evil English landlord, his drippy wife, and their very pretty and very English daughter… Can a family survive on love and potatoes alone? Or will the O’Flanerhyns crumble under the weight of British oppression?
The O’Flanerhyn family are in a veritable typhoon of emotion after two shocking announcements regarding the future of both their home, and of their eldest son Paddy Johnny Tommy Paddy. Meanwhile, Daddy O’Flanerhyn receives a visit from another unexpected guest, and Tiny Nelly continues to have consumption.
With the Banshee’s warning ringing in their ears, and Eloisa Louisa nowhere to be found, the O’Flanerhyn family are met with an influx of wedding guests, including a mysterious man from the Fall’s Road, and an unnerving priest and nun duo. What has become of Eloisa Louisa? Why is Simpy crying all the time? And why does Aunt Bernadette have phone signal in Ballysnavoughereen?
