The show focuses on the life and adventures of a young man from the town of Moogaga. Despite having a natural talent for music the young man has only one goal, to play Gaelic football for his town, and he prioritises this over developing his musical skills. However having neither the skill nor the physique to make the team, and frustrated by life in Moogaga, he decides to travel across Europe and America in the hope that he will find a town like Moogaga that will accept him. He travels far and wide all the time acquiring new musical skills yet at all time driven by the goal to become stronger and play football. In a one-horse town he finds acceptance and love as he learns to play new rhythms but trouble and strife soon follow too... Eventually, The Man from Moogaga returns home to find his hometown in the football final and desperately in need of something to help them win the match. Can The Man from Moogaga embrace his musical talents in time to inspire his team to win the cup?
