Things aren't going great for Bret Sheehan. His marketing job is in peril, his girlfriend has left, and his beloved Uncle Michael has come to the end of the line. On top of all that, Bret is kind of a jerk. When everything comes to a head, Bret decides he has to take his uncle's ashes back to Ireland to fulfill the old man's wish that he be returned to his home, to "the land of his blood and bones." The Legend of Castle Cove follows that quest from Ohio to the elemental landscapes of County Kerry, Ireland, where Bret encounters many wonders not mentioned in the tourism brochures.
