The Limerick hip hop artist Willzee lies in repose in a coffin in front of the stage at The Barn in Hotel Doolin.
A mythical rap battle over his soul unfolds: pagan forces, represented by rapper Citrus Fresh, and old Ireland in the form of Hazey Haze cast as a priest, both claim Willzee for their own. Eventually, the corpse is reanimated by whoops and applause from the audience, in order to choose his own immortal destiny.
