What happens when your best friend ought to be your enemy? Liam and Nora form
an unlikely friendship when he lends her a helping hand during a music
competition.

Liams father, a mechanic, is a proud trade union member, while Noras father
is a prosperous wine importer.

When Jim Larkin takes on the might of the employers in 1913, resulting in
strikes, riots and lockouts, Liam and Noras friendship is challenged and their
loyalties torn.

Caught up in events that they dont fully understand, the two come face to
face with hardship and danger, but also find humour and generosity as they set
out on an adventure that may make or break their friendship, but will
definitely change their lives forever.

The historical events of the Dublin 1913 Lockout is vividly portrayed through
the lives of two young friends.
