A heartwarming Irish coming-of-age story featuring Christy, a boy on the threshold of adulthood. He goes to live with his brother Shane and his young family in a working-class neighbourhood in Cork, Ireland, after his foster family kicks him out of the house.

The brothers haven't seen each other for a long time, and Shane sees this as a temporary situation. However, Christy begins to feel more and more at home and is accepted into a small, close-knit community. He also comes into contact with bad influences from his past, which Shane, with the help of the local community, wants to keep him away from. Together, they must reconcile their turbulent past and decide what the future might look like.
