Set in 1800s Ireland, the story follows Ian, a reclusive poet haunted by visions of leprechauns, who longs for sanity and connection with his neighbors.

The narrative intertwines the lives of Ian and his neighbors—Neil, a revolutionary; Marion, Neil's sister; and Brianna, Neil's lover—against a backdrop of hunger, imperialism, and love. Presented in verse, the tale explores themes of courage and the transformative power of love amidst adversity.
