When twelve-year-old Michael Rosario meets a mysterious boy from the future, his life is changed forever.

Thursday March 20th at 7:00pm: SHADOW OVER RATHCARN: Darby O'Gill and The Undead Chieftain
When a reckless lad disturbs the cursed mound of Abhartach, an undying terror rises, demanding his rightful tribute in blood. The people of Rathcarn grow powerless beneath the shadow of the neamh-mairbh, and the land itself begins to wither.
But if there’s one man who knows how to parley with the dead, outwit the fae, and walk the fine line between courage and calamity, it’s Darby O’Gill.
Armed with nothing but his sharp tongue, quick wit, and a desperate plan, Darby must face an unholy horror, bargain with a tricksy fae lord, and call upon the oldest magic in Ireland to seal the nightmare away—before Rathcarn is drained dry.
A tale of cunning over cruelty, words over weapons, and a legend not soon forgotten...
