Synopsis:

Irish drama in which a young man's quest to avenge his father's murder is complicated when he falls in love. John Paul Moorehouse (John Connors) was only a boy when his father was killed. 12 years later he is a member of an Irish travelling community and believes he is closing in on the identity of the man who took his father's life. However, his love for Winnie Power (Carla McGlynn) threatens to turn his quest on its head when he discovers that she is the daughter of his prime suspect...

King of the Travellers is a contemporary drama grounded in the traditions of the Irish traveller community and driven by emotive Shakespearean themes of love, betrayal, friendship and revenge. The story follows John Paul Moorehouse on his destructive quest to uncover the truth about the killer of his father twelve years ago. John Paul's desire for revenge is swayed as he falls for Winnie Power, the daughter of the man he suspects killed his father. John Paul must now battle between his consuming passion for justice versus his desire to be with the woman he now loves.

In the Travelling community, a young man must put his past behind him and settle a long running feud between two families so he can be with the love of his life.
