註釋
Paul Kelly has escaped his home in Ireland, and is the manager of a successful pub in southeast London. But his life becomes a constant drunken binge after his wife's death, and he must struggle to bring up his daughter Kaya and accept the patient love of another woman. When Paul's brother, Johnny, is murdered, their mother calls him home to the town where he grew up. Once there, Paul and his friend Bumper Reilly undertake a wild, funny investigation into Johnny's death, which forces Paul to confront the legacy of his past and the direction of his future. Caught in that Celtic dynamic in which self-destruction and introspection go hand in hand, all Paul is waiting for is the hour when the pubs open and he can get his healer.
