17-year-old Christy is at a crossroads. Kicked out of his suburban foster home, he moves in with his estranged older brother Shane and his young family. As far as Shane is concerned this is a temporary arrangement, but Christy begins to feel at home on Cork's working-class Northside. As he makes friends and begins to let the community in, he also reconnects with his past through his seemingly more corrupting extended family, despite Shane�s efforts to protect him. Shane wants something better for Christy at any cost � even if it means he has to push him away. As the brothers look to reconcile their turbulent past, their family and the community around them offer hope for Christy�s future.
