And, in that sense, it could indeed be considered 'spiritual' The tale revloves around a group of second generation Irish construction workers and the shenanigans that they get up to. The word 'craic' comes from the Gaelic and means fun or capers. The central character Donie, is a charming philanderer and we are entertained by his exploits.

Included too, is an Irish wediing, an Irish funeral and wake, all involving unexpected twists and turns. There is a dark turn to the story, when local corner-shop proprietor Sanjay Patel is brutally murdered and it seems like the murderer is getting away with it. A series of unexpecetd events reveal the murderer and justice is done. |
