Eddie is a small-town, wheeler-dealer Irish salesman with the gift of the gab and not much else. He'll sell anything and everything from the travelling auctions he sets up in the back of his Trojan van - it's the one thing he's really good at. Everything else in his life, especially relationships, is a complete mess.
Since his release from prison, Eddie has been working for John Power, the godfather of the local Traveller community. As it turns out, though, even Eddie's involvement with Power is a big mistake : Dermot, Eddie's assistant runs off with Power's new young bride Kathleen and her £11,000 dowry.
