A broken daughter, a gruff dad, and a boat full of women who'd rather row through a storm than talk about feelings.
Aoife Ni Bhraoin returns home to help her father Brendan ‘The Bear’ O’Briain in his recovery from a heart attack. During this time, Aoife faces the grief of her mother that she hasn’t dealt with until now. Aoife reacquaints with a group of rowers and this all-female team, who against the odds, take on a high stakes Naomhóg rowing competition.
