In a modern retelling of the classic Irish legend, Setanta is a young good-for-nothing, stuck living with his parents in the middle of a housing crisis. When the idea strikes to help aging relative Jim Cullen, in the hopes of inheriting his house, Setanta bites off more than he can chew, especially faced with Cullen's fearsome hound, Bing Bong.
