It's Martin's final week at primary school and he wants to leave a mark. Fidelma manages to drop a bombshell.

Martin is appalled when his dad takes the family on holiday during the 1990 World Cup, so he tries to hitch-hike back to Boyle to watch a vital match on home turf.

It's the dawn of a new era for Martin Moone as he begins secondary school, and while he isn't impressed with his friends' talk about girls, he soon changes his tune when he meets art teacher Miss Tivnan (Amy Huberman), a vision at the blackboard who sparks a romantic rivalry between him and Sean. Meanwhile, Dessie has an important question for Fidelma.
