It is June 1968: Robert Kennedy has just been murdered, the streets are simmering with discontent, and the Irish community of Pittsburgh is being swept away by change. Daly Racklin becomes the reluctant leader of a dying neighborhood, culture, and people. He is a man torn by his father's omnipotent shadow and the struggles of his own heart.
As his obligations take him from home to bar to church - humoring misfits, counseling widows, offering solace to the sad and caution to the exuberant - he discovers the importance of what he sees disappearing from this world. Full of barroom lore, hard-bitten wisdom, gentle humor, and faith tempered by skepticism, Bing Crosby's Last Song is a hilarious and touching story of love, a community's demise, and a wanderer's rebirth.
