A portrait of life in Ireland's mountain communities. In this episode it's January 2021, and the mountain dwellers are grappling with winter and the raging Covid pandemic.

Tá fuadar faoin Phríomhoide Pól agus a fhoireann, agus iad ag réiteach ábhar foghlama do dhaltaí na scoile i ndiaidh don Rialtas a fhógairt go mbeidh na scoileanna le dúnadh i ndiaidh na Nollag. Síos an bóthar, tá rún ag an pholaiteoir Shane bóithre an cheantair a réiteach. Tá saol uaigneach ag Séamus, an feirmeoir caorach agus é amuigh sna Beanna Boirche. Saol deas réidh i Sléibhte Chill Mhantáin atá ag muintir Mhic Cormaic. I Sliabh gCuillinn, baineann na ceoltóirí traidisiúnta súp as seisiún ach iad scartha go sóisialta.

School principal Pól and his staff rush to prepare learning materials for the Slieve Aughty pupils following the announcement that the schools will not be reopening after Christmas. Meanwhile, down the road, politician Shane is determined to improve road conditions in his local area. Séamus the sheep farmer contemplates a lonely rural existence amidst the beauty of the foothills of the Mournes.
