    Two brothers. Jason, an unemployed DJ/slacker and Daniel, an educated, homeless heroin addict. They haven't seen or spoken to each other in 3 years. Jason stumbles from one misguided misadventure to another in Dublin. One night he finds his estranged brother on the street. Over the summer they reconnect.
