When fate brings disillusioned music teacher JJ into the orbit of self-confessed ‘low life scum’ Naoise and Liam Og, the sound of Irish music is changed forever.

But to get their voices heard the trio must overcome police, paramilitaries and politicians as the future status of the Irish language erupts into the public arena.
