The film follows Darren, a young Irish man who has emigrated to England, returning to Ireland for his deceased fathers funeral. Travelling with his English girlfriend Rachel, Darren must navigate family dynamics as his grandfather Daithi, his aunt Nora, Rachel and himself all stay in his father's house with the body in an Irish tradition called the 'wake'. They will stay awake the entire night, guiding his father through the night, while Darren is forced to reckon with his hatred for the town and his failing relationships with his family, whom he has cast aside in favour of a new life abroad.
