Nach einer Glaubenskrise zieht der siebzehnjährige Seminarist Noel für einen Sommer zu seinen Großeltern nach Faha, einem kleinen irischen Dorf, in dem nichts sich je ändert; auch der Regen nicht, der das Dorf seit Anbeginn begleitet.

Christy wird Untermieter bei Noels Großeltern und für den jungen Mann ein Freund und Mentor.
