Shot on location in Cleveland, Dublin and County Clare, Ireland, "The Yank" tells the story of Tom Murphy, a middle-aged Cleveland bachelor.

Tom does not know it yet, but he's about to come face to face with the real Ireland!

Tom's plan to find his dreams takes him on a journey of discovery to a land that defies his original expectations. He discovers that the grass isn't always greener, even in Ireland. With the help of family he's met for the first time, he's discovering what it is to be Irish in 2013....the year of THE GATHERING!!!!
