Mary O'Hara is a
sharp and cheeky 12-year-old Dublin schoolgirl who is bravely facing the
fact that her beloved Granny is dying. But Granny can't let go of life,
and when a mysterious young woman turns up in Mary's street with a
message for her Granny, Mary gets pulled into an unlikely adventure. The
woman is the ghost of Granny's own mother, who has come to help her
daughter say good-bye to her loved ones and guide her safely out of this
world. She needs the help of Mary and her mother, Scarlett, who embark
on a road trip to the past. Four generations of women travel on a
midnight car journey. One of them is dead, one of them is dying, one of
them is driving, and one of them is just starting out.
