The film centers on the titular protagonist Cáit, a shy and lonely nine year old girl who lives in Ireland during the 1980s in a rural community with her parents and siblings. Cáit has no friends or close companions, and her family is also indifferent towards her. Her parents choose to send her to spend the summer with her mother's cousin Eibhlín and her husband Seán Cinnsealach (Kinsella), who are farmers in a different county. Over the course of the time she spends with her new guardians, Cáit begins to enjoy love and security for possibly the first time in her life, and grows close to both Sean and Eibhlín, who grow to love and care for Cáit as if she were their own child. However, Cáit also discovers some painful truths about her new family.
