This radio play chronicles the lives of people living within an Irish Harbour Town in the 1950s. It is a comedy that mimics a folk tale, and features a couple questioning their faith in their religion, each other and themselves.

We see Mary and Frank at 3 different but equally significant points in their relationship. Frank, a lonesome and troubled fisherman, wrestles with his own inadequacies that prevent him from truly committing himself to that which is important in his life. Mary, a folk-tale obsessive that longs for a life at sea, is imprisoned in mundanity and a marriage that is devoid of faith. Things come to a head when Frank brings home a fish for dinner that he curiously did not catch.
