Teresa has her son (Patrick) raised by Nora, but only at the expense of a broken heart. Teresa enters cloistered convent. Nora's children: John, successful campaign advisors, but for REPUBLICANS. Unthinkable for Catholics. Daughter Rachel (or is it Bridget) is gay and wants to bear a child. Brian, youngest, works at Patrick's bar. Patrick gets the bar after having the great good fortune of having a container take off two of his toes at the docks. Settlement is for $200,000, which he uses to buy the bar. Charlie dies of cancer. John's daughter is adopted from China, and as a teenager doesn't talk to either John or his wife.
Good Irish family stuff--quick tempers, quick forgiveness. Talking over one another, finishing each other's stories, repeating stories at every family meeting, family tiffs and rivalries, Mom more impressed with Patrick's bar than John's success as campaign manager.
