The past is never dead – in fact it isn’t even past. Since the outbreak of Peace, Northern Ireland wrestles with the question of how to forgive the seemingly unforgivable. Five Minutes of Heaven traces the lives of two Ulstermen; one a murderer, the other the brother of the man he killed. Since 1975 both men have lived in dread of encountering the other. One, Alistair (Neeson), feels he dare not ask forgiveness, the other, Joe (Nesbitt), feels incapable of giving it. But when they do eventually meet, something extraordinary happens - something that will change their lives forever.

Long-distance lorry driver Kieran has built his life around control. He keeps emotional risk at arm's length, seeking anonymous hook ups in laybys where connection is never part of the deal. Until Aidan emerges from the treeline, volatile and unnervingly intense. Kieran, convinced he's in control, ignores every warning sign until the police arrive and the carefully constructed boundaries of his life begin to collapse. LAYBY is a queer psychosexual thriller about collision between control and connection. Set over one night in a remote Scottish layby, it is a story about the need for intimacy and how far we'll go into the dark to find it.
