Synopsis

Raymond’s life is on pause - stuck in a job he hates and living with a bunch of middle class students he has nothing in common with. He’s a man adrift, until a chance encounter on a night out reunites him with his charismatic but volatile former foster brother Jerdy.
Charming his housemates, Jerdy worms his way back into Raymond’s life, feeding his dissatisfaction with his current circumstances and pulling him back to a world he was trying to escape. Jerdy brings fun, excitement and much missed brotherly love, but when he allows himself to be dragged into thuggery and criminality Raymond has to grapple with breaking the bonds of loyalty from his past. But Jerdy isn’t going to make it easy for him. Devastated that his brother wants to cut ties with him, Jerdy holds Raymond and his housemates under house arrest until Raymond agrees to do one last robbery with him. For Raymond, this proves to be just the beginning of his problems.
Set against the vibrant backdrop of Belfast, this comedy drama with a uniquely Northern Irish perspective delivers exceptional performances, unstoppable swagger and a laugh-out-loud exploration of the relationships and experiences that make us who we are.
