This comedy/drama by James McLindon stars ACTS veterans Tim Gordon, Zach Thompson and Elyse McGill.

On a snowy night in an Irish pub in Cambridge, Connor, Maeve and Dev meet. Each character spends their time agonizing over an irrevocably life-changing decision.

Connor has spent much of his life looking for something to believe in, but he has been repeatedly disillusioned by his faith, the law and finally, love. Tonight may be his last chance as he mulls over the prestigious judgeship he has been offered, and far more importantly, the fact that the woman he has always loved, Maeve, a nun, may suddenly be available.

Dev, the bartender, is an unsettled Irish immigrant whose easy humor and tall tales mask his own dilemma: Should he return to Ireland or admit America is now his home?

The three fight over religion and beer, whether truth exists at all and the capacity of stout to explain, metaphorically and metaphysically, most of life. As the evening unfolds, each is eager to tell the others exactly what they should do with their lives and equally resolved not to discuss his or her own. This night will bring all three face to face with their futures.
