The Two Loves of Gabriel Foley by Jimmy Keary tells the story of batchelor farmer, Gabriel Foley, who lives with his elderly mother where he faces the scorn of his Aunt Lucy who regularly visits.

He is unaware that his neighbor, Chrissie McCabe, fancies him and instead joins the local drama group to romance upmarket Hazel Myers.
