A beautiful Georgian House, The Folly, has nestled outside the sleepy Wicklow village of Crannagh for generations.
Jayne Jordan, abandoning her career and boyfriend in Dublin, moves there to work for the elderly owners. Then disaster strikes.
The house, now renamed Finn’s Folly, becomes a residential and holiday hotel which caters for a disparate group of people whose lives become indelibly intertwined.
FINN'S FOLLY is a warm uplifting tale full of life, tragedy and love lost and found.
