Perrier's Bounty
Synopsis
With a bounty on their heads Michael, Jim and Brenda flee to the mountains. On the run with his eccentric father, who's convinced he'll die the next time he sleeps, and an increasingly morose Brenda, Michael is about to lose his mind. But as the net tightens and the helter skelter chase reaches its climax he is forced to forgive his father and confront his true feelings for Brenda. With every hard man in Dublin on their trail it looks like Michael won't make it through the next 24 hours; however, the Grim Reaper and a gang of savage dogs have a funny way of intervening.
