Synopsis

Bobby O'Brien, an eleven-year-old precocious and energetic boy, obsessed with becoming a great detective like his hero, television sensation Kojak. Set against the backdrop of 1980s, working class, inner-city Dublin, Bobby and his pal Nell torment their family, friends and neighbours as they set up their own private investigation enterprise.
When Bobby's brother Oisin disappears this story of innocence and adventure stumbles into the murky world of criminality and addiction. Bobby and Nell apply their detective skills to finding Oisin. They set out on a mission across the iconic city of Dublin, that will ultimately change how they view their world forever.
A story about how resilience, your friends and family can see you through the toughest times. Life isn’t fair but with these on your side you will make it through.
