In a small village in Ireland, the lives of the locals are disrupted when a group of traveling actors, known as the Playboys, arrive. Among them is a charismatic and mysterious man named Tom Casey, who catches the attention of Tara Maguire, a young woman trapped in a loveless marriage. As Tara becomes involved with Tom and the Playboys, jealousy and secrets begin to unravel, leading to a dramatic climax.

Adapted from Charles O'Neal's 1949 book, this follows the lighthearted adventures of a late 19th Century young man named Jamie McGrew, the three wishes granted to him in a dream by a fairy queen, and the unusual way they come true. His first is for travel (he goes from Ireland to a life of horse trading in Georgia); his second, to marry the girl of his dreams; the third, a son with the gift of poetry and the ability to speak in the ancient Gaelic tongue.
