For comedy, history, self-improvement & culture fans.
Shannon, is a “Plastic Paddy”; a clueless Irish-American who loves Ireland. She’s at the arts residency to collaborate with her Druidic-healer poet cousin. (They met online when their DNA matched on a genealogy website.)
The residency is rundown, the lakefront is full of stoats and her fellow housemates put her “positivity practice” to the test.
As they prepare to inaugurate the new Megacorp Exhibition Hall, an heiress, a hot groundskeeper, a fairy fort, a famous Russian dissident artist, and an army of frisky stoats have other plans.
