Synopsis:

Beautiful rural Ireland. Elegant racehorses. Money. Family. A David and Goliath family drama pitting brilliant, but near bankrupt, young trainer Aidan against mega rich neighbour Mr. Carrick. Into Aidan's life comes a young horse, spoilt and dangerous; and a teenage boy who drops the bombshell that he is Aidan's son. The horse and the son turn the troubled Aidan's life around. But Mr. Carrick's beautiful wife, Yolanda, threatens to turn it upside down.

Now Aidan nows he's Jonah's dad and the boy only admires him as a horse-trainer, he decides to go back in the business. Alas his license will be withdrawn the next day unless he repairs the stables and acquires three more horses.

At the auction, Aiden suspects foul play involving a seasoned trader, and takes risks he ...
