Jim and Gary have served as the water boys for their local hurling team, Carrickshock Kilkenny, for over 40 years. Both men have cerebral palsy, however they do not allow their condition to stand in the way of their participation in the hurling team that both their fathers played for. This sensitive, intimate and charming documentary explores the daily routines of both men and their unbreakable commitment to their team and their community.
