Synopsis
Foul-mouthed Bronagh and her meek brother Connor return from an unsatisfactory home visit in Northern Ireland to the London house they share with friends Niamh and Packy. Packy meets old friend Ryan, who has an artificial hand as a result of injuries inflicted by a gang of armed robbers at the shop where Ryan was covering for Packy's shift. Feeling guilty Packy organizes a pub quiz whose proceeds will go to Ryan but has to bribe Bronagh with the promise of letting her win the prize, a bottle of vodka. The quiz is interrupted by Niamh's jail-bird boyfriend Tyson, whom she has dumped, telling him it is because of Packy, which leads to a showdown between Packy and Tyson.
