“Edward Burns makes his return to Tribeca with the first of his films to be shot and produced abroad, a sports comedy focusing on a family of Irish American golf aficionados. Burns plays Freddy Finnegan, the younger (and in his opinion less favoured) son of legendary golf pro Jack Finnegan (Ian McElhinney). When Jack suddenly dies during the family golf tournament, it’s left to Freddy, his brother Teddy (Brian d’Arcy James) and each of their respective children to return to their patriarch’s homeland and carry out his final wishes: To have his ashes spread across his favourite places in Ireland and for them to carry on the Finnegan’s Cup tournament in his honor.” Cara Cusumano (for Tribeca Festival)
