Sometimes the best way to find yourself... is to lose yourself in someone else's life

Tara Road tells the story of two women one Irish and one American - who swap houses one summer and change the course of their lives forever. An accidental phone call brings these two otherwise unrelated women together and, in their mutual need for space and time alone, they agree to a two-month house exchange.

In swapping homes, both women slowly find healing and strength through new surroundings and the kindness of others and gradually learn to accept the reality of their changed lives.
