Diarmuid Gavin desperately doesn't want to be boring, and tracing his surname back to Scottish shipyards in the 1800's, he turns out to be anything but... He uncovers a vast & wealthy family background in Edinburgh, an unsung Operatic figure in the West End of London, and a solitary black sheep who ends up in Dublin, with such a cloud over his unusual name that even his own son disowns him... Like many an Irishman, Diarmuid also goes looking for heroic ancestors in the 1916 Rising, and discovers something more shocking and tragic than he could have ever imagined.
