Lazy would-be thief Michael Cillian Murphy owes local gangster Perrier Brendan Gleeson more money than he can pay. When a burglary intended to raise funds goes awry, Michael's lovesick neighbor (Jodie Whittaker) kills one of the goons who come to collect, and he is forced to go on the run. Dragging along his neighbor, and his foul-mouthed father (Jim Broadbent), Michael has to stay one step ahead of the crime world while keeping his dad one step ahead of the Grim Reaper Gabriel Byrne).
