Time and all its hazards have worn down the land and opportunities in Liscommon, a small Northern Irish town. The remaining stragglers live in the long shadow of an ancient stone circle — the wilderness within the only unspoiled constant, protected by generations of folklore. When a young man, desperate to leave, accepts an ill-fated job offer to aid gentrification effort and construct a motorway that will run straight through the stones, he quickly learns a road built at such expense does not lead very far.
