It's the biggest weekend of the year and everything is about to change. In Ballina, the simmering feud between small-time drug-dealer Cillian English and County Mayor's enforcers, Gabe and Sketch Ferdia, spills over into violence and an ugly ultimatum. Soon the reclusive Dev and Cillia's teenage brother Doll are drawn headlong into the Ferdias' revenge fantasy.
Meanwhile, Doll's girlfriend Nicky sets out on a feverish mission to save him. Life in this ordinary town will never be the same again.
