Marcy travels to Ballinagra, Ireland, looking for useful fodder that her employer can utilize in his waning re-election campaign.

Will she be able to complete her assignment of political espionage in time? Denis Leary, Jay O. Sanders and Milo O'Shea also star. "The Matchmaker" was filmed on location in Galway, Ireland, and the state of Massachusetts.
