Following the death of his mother, an Irish immigrant, Chad has traveled overseas to the small island community which was his mother's hometown. In addition to facing the initial prejudices of his mother's estranged family, Chad finds himself the unwitting center of an ongoing conflict between his uncle Tony (Donal McCann) and local bar owner Joe Brady (Pierce Brosnan), who have been at loggerheads since Chad's mother left twenty years before. Further complications ensue when Chad develops a relationship with Brady's daughter Aislinn (Aislin McGuckin), as her jealous friend Peter O'Boyce (David Quinn) looks on in disgust and arousal. Peter then attempts to stop the ensuing romance, and in doing so, lands himself in some 'mega-trouble'. Romance, the young boy later describes in a thick Rathnew accent, in echo with the film itself, is "an American ting".

The story takes place in an Irish village a few miles from the border with Northern Ireland. When the local Japanese owned computer factory closes, the principal employer in the area seems to become the mob that runs the smuggling. One day, Vinnie, (Stephen Brennan), one of the men thrown out of work, and his brother-in-law, Arthur, (Eamon Morissey), happen to see a videotape of the 1964 Elvis Presley film Roustabout, in the village bar. They see a cyclist in the film ride in a carnival Wall of Death - a high walled barrel-like tank where centrifugal force keeps the rider up in the air circling. Straight away Vinnie makes diagrams, and measures - and clears a patch of land near his house. His wife, Nora (Catherine Byrne - Alice More in the series The Tudors), protests and goes back to her mother with their little girl, Vicky. It's a new kitchen she wants, not a Wall of Death. The men however, continue with the work and sinking tree posts into the ground and putting up a huge cylindrical construction. They become energetic and resourceful. Vinnie believes his Wall of Death will be a source of income - that people will buy tickets to stand on a gallery around the top of the rink and watch him and Arthur give their daring performances. Nora returns.

À Dublin, une jeune femme est retrouvée morte dans le coffre de la voiture de l'ambassadeur suisse Sobierski. Le cadavre est horriblement mutilé : le tueur a brûlé son visage avec de l'acide puis l'a égorgée. L'ancien inspecteur John Norton, viré de la police en raison de ses méthodes brutales, se charge lui-même de l'investigation. Il enquête dans l'entourage de Sobiesky, qui entretenait une relation sexuelle avec la victime, ce que ne facilite pas l'immunité diplomatique et le souci de discrétion du plénipotentiaire. Mais les meurtres s'enchaînent autour du notable et de ses proches. Alors que le tueur en série sévit, Norton rencontre la belle-fille de l'ambassadeur, Helen, avec qui il entame une liaison. Les deux amoureux se lient pour percer au grand jour les secrets de sa famille qui pourraient conduire à la découverte de l'identité du meurtrier.
