So Late in the Day finds an unsatisfied man on his bus journey home reflect on the love that got away. After an uneventful Friday at the Dublin office, Cathal faces into the long weekend and takes the bus home. There, his mind agitates over a woman named Sabine with whom he could have spent his life, had he acted differently. All evening, with only the television and a bottle of champagne for company, thoughts of this woman and others intrude - and the true significance of this particular date is revealed. Keegan's story asks if a lack of generosity might ruin what could be between men and women. Is it possible to love without sharing?
