Carribay

In the Northern Ireland seaside village of Carribay, determined to succeed against all the odds, five women’s lives intertwine across generations.

1940s. Orphan Norah Kielty grows up on a remote farm with little to call her own but a fierce ambition to become a hairdresser. Against all the odds, she secures an apprenticeship at the village salon, later marrying and raising a daughter, Bernie, as the shadow of the Troubles darkens their world.

Decades on, Bernie builds a glittering career in Manchester, far from Carribay’s shores, while Claire Moloney endures heartbreak in Dublin before being exiled across the Irish Sea only to fight her way back from loss and addiction to forge a new future.

When Bernie’s daughter, Kiera, returns to Carribay, she must modernise her grandmother’s beloved salon while confronting the past and longing for romance with Damian Murphy, Ireland’s up-and-coming country singer. Meanwhile, producer of Carribay Radio’s breakfast show Aisling McCarthy is planning the wedding of the year; an event destined to stir celebration and scandal in equal measure.

As secrets unravel and generations collide, in Carribay community endures, and even after the fiercest storms, love finds a way home.
