Billable Hours


            It seems that Cate Madighan (Laura Leighton) has it all: a top job as the editor for the Perfect magazine, she is about to marry a New York millionaire (Martin Doyle), and is a big shot in Manhattan. Talisha (Dorly Jean-Louis) a magazine reporter, interviews the couple, and they agree on everything: leading a careful life, not having children or pets, and keeping their works as their number one priority.Unexpectedly, she receives the ashes of her father, who abandoned her right after her mother's dead. As he was not able to take care of Cate as a child, he sent her to America with some distant relatives. He wants her to spread his ashes in the same place as his late wife. Cate hesitates, and asks for the psychologist's opinion. Finally, she'll return to New Kerry -That's the reason for the Spanish title Retorno a New Kerry, which has nothing to do with the original title.Anyway, Cate travels with one of her magazine staff, Jeffrey Lerner (Brandon Firla) and doesn't explain to anybody but him what the matter is. They will sleep at Fiona's (actress not listed in cast), her best friend when she was a child. She's married, with three children, and a stranded dog. Everybody asks her why her husband-to-be is not there with her.Cate has to convince his father's friends to sing at the funeral ceremony, but they are so angry with one another, that they won't even be on speaking terms anymore. She has to follow them from pub to pub, and from there to the New Kerry Fair, where one of them has a stall. With the help of Conner Baily (Sebastian Spence), a lawyer who used to travel all over the world, she convinces them to give out one last performance in his memory.Meanwhile, Cate eats the traditional food, rides on the basket of Conner's bike, sees a bookshop she memories of, helps Fiona's husband to express his feelings of love towards her, and reads all the letters her father had sent his two friends. There, he expressed his feelings of remorse at having abandoned Cate, inequality at the task of being a lone parent, his loneliness and his impossibility to find a stable job as an engineer.The ceremony is performed, eventually. Cate returns to her life in New York but Conner follows her there with Fiona's dog. Her would-be hubby almost catches her red-handed with him, and she says that she's changed her life: she wants children, a dog, and to refocus the priorities on her life. Donaghue puts a stop at the wedding immediately, as he doesn't want any changes on the path of life he has designed for them both.Cate and Donner kiss.
