| Synopsis: |
A darkly comic rollercoaster ride of a crime drama. Petty criminal Michael has borrowed money from Dublin gangster Perrier, whose henchmen are aching to collect the debt. Unwittingly interrupting Perrier’s goons whilst they are beating Michael, his recently dumped and emotionally unstable friend Brenda accidentally shoots one of them dead. With a bounty on their heads Brenda and Michael are forced to go on the run, only to find themselves unexpectedly joined by Michael’s long-estranged father Jim.
The unlikely trio they dodge Perrier, bounty-hunters and the police as Michael tries to save his own life, protect an increasingly suicidal Brenda, and deal with Jim’s absurdist anxiety that he will die the next time he falls asleep.
