Trojan Eddie's the name, bargain-zinies the game. This is Edie's motto as he travels from town to town selling his wares. A vibrant performer on stage, off stage a quiet man. A loving father,
a sad cuckolded husband, an old ex con, he seems to ramble through life full of anxiety and
doubt, pragmatically dreaming of a better life. Eddie works for John Power, a rich old settled
Traveler who is still more than a little wild at heart. At the annual patron John falls for
Kathleen, a beautiful young Traveller. He courts and eventually marries her, but his happiness
is short lived as she is snatched from under his nose by his nephew Dermot. Dermot and
Kathleen elope together and this plunges Eddie deep into a dangerous story that he cannot
escape from.
