Wendy Patterson is a local girl from Drumbán, who found success as a television producer in Los Angeles and is now returning to her hometown after more than 20 years to film a TV series based on Ireland’s ancestral history.
Back in the chaotic microcosm of Drumbán, this time with a film crew in tow, she finds herself caught between her past and her epic new production.
His life is neat and well-ordered or at least he thinks he it is.
Soon he finds himself in the eye of a storm as the celluloid circus descends.
And worse than that, it threatens to blow open the secret he has been harbouring since the millennium.

Speaking about her character, she said: “Wendy starts out very trepidatious about going home to Ireland.
“She thinks if she’s ever going to go back and confront her past, if she’s going to have a relationship with her father again and really put to bed her negative feelings about this hometown, this is the time to do it.”
She has gone on to appear in films such as Drive, Ginger & Rosa and Lost River.
