Overview

The excitement felt in the Winner's Circle vanishes when the jockey's beloved horse disappears from his stall in the dark of night. Patrick McCallin is a young Irish lad growing up in the 1980s when all of Ireland is groaning under the weight of The Troubles. Born to ride, he pays little mind to the political unrest going on around him. He dreams only of becoming a jockey. Patrick's dream comes true when he is selected to ride an up-and-coming Thoroughbred, named Fionn MacCool, in the biggest races in England and Ireland. Race after race ends with Fionn and Patrick in the Winner's Circle. The pair captures the heart of all Ireland. But the dream becomes a nightmare when Patrick's beloved horse is kidnapped and held for ransom. When the horse's owner refuses to pay and the Irish Garda closes the case, Patrick and his best friends, Ronan and Maddie, have no choice but to find Fionn themselves.
