The film is set in 1967 and stars Maggie Smith, Kathy Bates, Laura Linney, and Agnes O'Casey as lifelong companions, residing in a close-knit community near Dublin.

In their quest for a miracle, these women are compelled to confront their personal histories. Alongside them, Stephen Rhea and Michael Collins also grace the screen.
