Australia is the Lucky Country, and Joey Driscol knows it.

It's a far cry from his native Ireland, but he believes this is the place his family can make a new life and forget the troubles of the past. There's a good life, a new house, regular work and, in time, they welcome their new son Marti into the world.

But as years pass, their new life thousands of miles from the Old Country comes under threat. Joey's wife struggles with personal demons, and their marriage is on the rocks. When his wife suddenly disappears with their child, Joey is beside himself, with no clues about where they are.

Soon, Joey learns that he will have to confront the ghosts of his past... and come to terms with an uncertain future.
