- Summary:
- Regarded by his neighbors as a harmless misfit, Josie has spent all his adult life as as the caretaker of a crumbling petrol station on the outskirts of a small town in the mid-west of Ireland. He is limited, lonely, yet relentlessly optimistic and, in own peculiar way, happy. But life becomes more complicated when David, a teenage boy, is hired for summer work at the garage. Josie gains confidence as he becomes David's friend, but his lack of experience in social norms will get him in trouble.
