Belfast

A story of love, loss and striving for redemption. Brendan, awkward and indecisive is reared in the heart of West Belfast, roaming the streets with his wee pal Ramie. All around the city was smouldering ready to break into a conflagration. As teenagers playing football, pursuing girls but looming closer was the shadow of Northern Ireland's "Troubles."

At 18 Brendan fell in love with a girl, Jess, from a different cultural dimension, their romance was short-lived. Brendan and Ramie took a decision that was to have ultimately tragic consequences for both. The pair became embroiled in the 'armed struggle,' robbing betting shops, manning roadblocks and trying to execute 'Driller Doyle'. Brendan had a serious conflict with another volunteer. Seemingly inconsequential but his adversary built it into something he dedicated himself to obtaining revenge.

Scarred by all the events Brendan escaped from Belfast. Along the way, there were the women he met who influenced him., Dolores, Lisa, and Jess, forever in his thoughts. He thought he left behind the trauma building a new life in Scotland but influences from Belfast continued to reach out to him. Drawing him back and pursuing him into the 'safe haven' of his new life.
