- Synopsis
- Samuel O'Shea, an exuberant womanizer enthusiastic drinker and all-around hedonist, has seen better days. His second marriage is ending, and his wife and children are at wit's end with him. More disturbingly, he has begun seeing things: Frankenstein sidles up to the bar, strangers sing and dance to Leonard Cohen tunes, and his dead and adored father Ben pops up for chats.
  
  At first Samuel thinks it could be the drink, or perhaps he’s just crazy or over-imaginative, but then learns he is gravely ill. Reflecting on the life he has lived, Samuel retreats to his family shack in remote Ireland, where he begins work on that great novel he always meant to write, and generally take stock. Surprisingly, or not, he meets and falls in love with a woman, who is full the unexpected. All this leads Samuel to an utterly unforeseeable happy ending.
