Synopsis

Pregnant junkie Liz and middle-aged loser Eddie take a trip through the Northern Irish countryside en route to the weirdest score of their lives. Eddie is so shady it is hard to believe he would do anything for himself. His junkie son Joe flees at the sight of him. When he pleads with Joe's girlfriend to give him a ride in her Vauxhall Cavalier, one naturally presumes he is involved in some sort of dark scheme. Carrying around a large box she claims is a gift, Liz does not exactly look like the giving type either. Yet both her and Eddie's jour­neys are deeply affected by their children. Eddie is determined to drive across the country to pick up a drug-stuffed lamb in order to put son Joe in the clear, while Liz makes him take a detour to drop off a birthday present for her disabled child who lives in an institution. By the end of their strange and highly illegal road trip, this unlikely duo reveal a great deal of compassion for each others unusual familial predicaments.
