A bible, black comedy about a prodigal son returning to his hometown to seek salvation for his sins.
Jimmy is a nihilist with a hilariously bleak view on life. He carries a leather, black doctor’s bag around with him containing the rope he plans to hang himself with. A sticker on the bag reads ‘He is Risen’. Jimmy is filled with guilt and shame and has let his inner demons take over. Jimmy returns home to the cold austere beauty of West Cavan to say goodbye.
At home his brother, Damien, has been stuck looking after their sick father for seven years. He is consumed with bitterness and self-righteousness at Jimmy’s disappearance. As soon as Jimmy visits his ailing father, he dies. The second his father breaths his last, the thunder rumbles and the rain starts to pour. And there is a condition in the will… that his father cannot be buried on a wet day. Jimmy is stuck in his hometown until the rain stops.
