The plot is based on Irish mythology and history and is set before the Great Famine of 1845 to 1852. Influences include The Book of Thel by William Blake, and poetry by W. B. Yeats. Maura is an apparently backward girl who is awakened by an outcast fairy, fiddler and shaman known as Scarf Michael. He becomes her lover and teacher.
