• Synopsis

  Liam and Zoe are madly in love. Well, one of them is. The other is up to all kinds of messing. When sometime clairvoyant Zoe is supposed to be abroad, however, an eerily similar lady is seen zooming around Dublin on the back of a motorcycle making illicit cash withdrawals. Discovering the deception, Liam’s twin brother Larry plans an unusual revenge. Zoe, however, has one more trick up her sleeve...

  A ménage à trois between twin brothers (same mother, different fathers...) and a clairvoyant chemist's assistant leads to a highly unusual love story.
