Craggy Island is a God-forsaken hellhole with only a North, South and East side (the West side of the island broke off in a storm). The island is populated by many eccentrics and its only place of interest is The Holy Stone of Clonrichert, which is basically a small rock on a pedestal. Father Ted Crilly dreams of a parish in Las Vegas and a life free from embarrassment. But in the meantime he is also trying to remain sane on Craggly Island, and to find maybe an hour free from embarrassment.
