How can you let your fear stop you from doing what's right?
This call to action lies at the heart of this retelling of Antigone set, slightly out of time, in Dublin’s ancient inner city. A gangland feud rages, creating a culture of containment and fear which pervades the community. Twig yearns to escape with her lover, Eamon, but a deadly shootout between her brothers, Paulie and Eddie, results in local crime lord Leon vowing to let Paulie’s body rot in the street. Twig refuses to bow down to his edict and searches desperately for her injured brother. Twig’s determination to do what’s right and Leon’s desire to maintain control seals both of their fates. The scene is set for a tragic showdown in Dublin’s docklands.
