Synopsis
Legend has it that every patriarch of the Mc.Greely family for generations has lived to 100 years – those “ironclad Mc.Greely genes” they all say. But what happens when one of the Mc.Greely’s puts an axe to the sacred Hawthorne fairy tree? Well let’s just say that you might not take too kindly to someone impaling your house…
Brendan Mc.Greely is the man responsible for the axe in the Hawthorne tree. And after making the fatal mistake of damaging a fairy home, and his father subsequently dropping dead three years before his 100th year on this earth, he is convinced the Fairies are punishing him. With the help of his therapy-savvy daughter, Katie, the pair embark on an increasingly ridiculous mission to win back the Fairies’ favour—only for Brendan to discover that the real challenge isn’t appeasing the Fairies, but facing the grief he’s been trying so hard to outrun.
