Former Tipperary hurling captain, Tony Maguire, is happily married and living in America where he coaches college football. Tony had to retire from hurling due to injury and missed his shot at an All-Ireland Title. Getting a second chance, he drops everything to travel to Ireland to coach a no-hope County side. Tony has to deal with the pressures of his failing marriage across the Atlantic and the difficulty of getting county players to forget their club rivalries. He whips the Antrim team into shape with the help of Skip, his foul mouthed but hard working and well respected assistant coach and some unorthodox team building measures. They qualify for the All-Ireland Final for the first time in over forty years.
The star player, Paul Claridge, is an eighteen year old school kid who is a wizard at hurling. Paul falls in love with a girl from the Protestant community and in 1989 Northern Ireland their love affair has to contend with bigotry and hatred from both sides of the divide.
