In the mid 1970s, a group of six young men left their homes in the West of Ireland, took the boat out of Dublin Bay and sailed across the sea to England in the hope of making their fortunes and returning home. Thirty years later only one, Jackie Flavin, makes it home, but does so in a coffin. Jackie’s five friends reunite at his wake where they are forced to face up to the reality of their alienation.
