The O’Reilly family leaves their home in Clonmel, Ireland, settling in a small apartment in the Bronx to raise their five children. The youngest and only daughter, Magee, is a competitive Irish Step dancer with a big feis in the morning. McGoldrick’s Thread takes place over a weekend, with flashbacks to Ireland weaving the thread of the O’Reilly and McGoldrick Families. In a small apartment filled with brothers and commotion, Magee learns to believe in herself and what it takes to make her dreams come true – in dance and in life.
