L'Irlanda è terra di poeti e predicatori, santi e letterati: quanto di più lontano dai sentimenti di James Powers, sedicenne americano costretto a raggiungere tre zie che neppure conosce dopo la morte della madre. Ribelle e alla perenne ricerca di mezzi per tornare a casa, li troverà con l'aiuto di amici poco raccomandabili e di affari poco leciti, per la cattolicissima Irlanda: contrabbando di riviste pornografiche.
