It's a good location for a resort for travelers. As such, a British corporation has purchased property to build an airport.
However, holding up plans is a stubborn Irish rancher who won't sell his land.
In order to fight the proposed plans, he fences in his land and at the same time fences in his two late-teenaged children.
