A young bard in Ancient Ireland gets sent to a tiny town in the north that's never heard music before. Bryan is freshly graduated from his twelve years of school in the great Bardic College of Tara. Naively expecting to be treated like a rock star and be loved instantly, he has no idea how hard it is to make it as an artist. Ancient Ireland was a society where bards had genuine political power. A powerful satire had the power to remove kings from their thrones. To complete his education, Bryan must spend a year away from Bardic College on work experience. Bryan is assigned to a tough and rugged coastal fishing village called Oi in the very northern tip of Ulster, whose people have no time for music and who also have a deep-seated resentment towards the capitol city of Tara, from which the bard hails.
