Sisterly solidarity is tested to breaking point in a booze-soaked dark comedy adapted from the novel by Emma Jane Unsworth. Laura (Holliday Grainger) enjoys the nightlife in present-day Dublin to excess with American best friend Tyler (Alia Shawkat). They often wake in the same bed and are inseparable as they chart a haphazard path through their early 30s. When Laura falls in love with classical pianist Jim (Fra Fee), she contemplates turning her back on the parties, drugs and debauchery to settle down and follow the sensible, suburban example of her sister Jean (Amy Molloy), who is expecting a first child. Tyler is deeply resentful of Jim and his hold over Laura. She schemes to break up the happy couple by tempting her best friend to stray with handsome writer Marty (Dermot Murphy). Tyler's calculated effort to break Laura's heart rather than sever their special bond could backfire spectacularly.
