John is so many miles from love now and home. This is the story of his strangest trip.

At its helm is John, a maddened genius fleeing fame and seeking peace. With his deadpan Irish driver, Cornelius, at his side, John is hellbent on reaching the Island of Dorinish, an assignment he arranged ten years before. Lyrical, freewheeling, quixotic and fun, Bealtlebone is a sad and beautiful comedy.
