Werewolf of Connemara tells the story of The Sodhoppers, an Irish band who never had a hit single but had more supernatural experiences than any other act in musical history. Barreling around the countryside in their beat-up old van, they would meet some of the strangest creatures ever to darken the door of a rural dancehall. The four lads in the band grew up in a harsh 1960s Industrial School (orphanage), but when they finally escape the dreaded institution, their path to musical greatness is sidetracked by a host of fiends they meet along the byroads of rural Ireland, including vampires, a fairy seductress and the mysterious werewolf who runs a lonely dancehall in the middle of Connemara. Werewolf of Connemara is told through the eyes of Fergal McGettigan, lead guitarist with The Sodhoppers. Incarcerated in the Industrial School from a young age, Fergal's quest is not only one of musical fulfillment, but a desperate search for his long lost brother and two sisters. Though each bizarre adventure seems to bring Fergal no closer to his ultimate goal, hidden behind these fantastical encounters may lie the truth about the fate of his long lost family.
