St. Patrick’s week, 1965, Limerick city. A hotel owned by famed Irish rebel Michael Hurley is visited by the renowned Ernesto ‘Che’ Guevara, the world’s most famous revolutionary. For the hotel porter, things have never been so grim. The guests get stranger by the day: a horse trader claiming to be Guevara’s cousin, a father who sees apparitions of the Virgin Mary, a translator with a secret mission… The hotel’s good name is at stake, hot water bottles are exploding, plots are being hatched, and everyone is in the crossfire.
