Fiosraíonn Antaine Ó Donnaile scéal eipiciúil ceithearnaigh coille chlúitigh as deisceart Ard Mhacha agus an t-amhrán a dhéanann comóradh air. Spreag Séamus Mac Murchaidh idir sceimhle agus meas i measc na ndaoine sin ar chas sé orthu. Gabhadh an rapaire iomráiteach sa deireadh nuair a rug a dheargnamhaid air, Johnson na bhFeá; ach ba ghníomh salach fill óna rúnsearc agus óna chairde cléibhe ba chionsiocair leis.

Le radharcra iontach, athléirithe drámatúla, agallaimh le staraithe agus amhránaíocht ó chuid de na ceoltóirí traidisiúnta is fearr in Ultaibh, leanann Antaine coiscéimeanna an rapaire sheachantaigh seo, go mbuaileann sé sa deireadh le cuid dá mhuintir féin ag a bhaile dúchais gar do Chrois Mhic Lionnáin. Faigheann Antaine amach go léiríonn scéal Mhic Mhurchaidh saibhreas an traidisiúin Ghaelaigh, chomh maith le gnéithe de pholaitíocht agus de stair dheisceart Ard Mhacha.

Antaine Ó Donnaile uncovers the epic tale of a notorious south Armagh outlaw and the song that commemorates him. Séamus Mac Murphy inspired both terror and admiration in equal measure in those he met. The celebrated rapparee was finally captured by his arch enemy, Johnston of the Fews, but only after a crushing act of betrayal by his lover and some of his closest confidants.

Featuring breathtaking scenery, gripping dramatic re-enactments, and performances from some of the best traditional singers in Ulster, this documentary follows Antaine as he traces the footsteps of this elusive rapparee, eventually meeting some of his living relatives at their ancestral home near Crossmaglen. As Antaine discovers, the Mac Murphy saga illustrates the richness of the local Gaelic tradition, as well as giving a deep insight into the politics and history of south Armagh.
