The arrival of a mysterious dog, who seems intent on connectng with Róise, heralds huge change - but is it for the better? The dog loves sports and steaks, has a favourite armchair, and an aversion to their neighbor, Donncha. Róise quickly realizes that this dog is her beloved Frank, reincarnated. While her son worries that his mother has lost her mind, the local community seem to embrace the idea of Frank’s return.
