The arrival of a mysterious dog, who seems intent on connecting with Roise, heralds huge change but is it for the better? The dog loves sports and steaks, has a favorite armchair and an aversion to their neighbor, Donncha. Roise quickly believes that this dog is her beloved Frank, reincarnated. While her son worries that his mother has lost her mind, the local community seems to embrace the idea of Frank’s return, especially as he coaches a shy local kid to become a star player and ensure success for the school team. Roise is happy once more but is there a real future for her with a dog-husband?
