It's New Year's Eve in Derry, and the whole town's out celebrating, when some money goes missing from a gangster's safe. So the thief's on the run. And the gangster's thugs are out after him. And the gangster's daughter can't decide whether or not to jump off the Derry Peace Bridge. And a couple of party girls are having a pretty good time, till a dead body ends up in the trunk of their car. And then the car goes missing. A dark, funny, time-tripping ensemble piece, based on a play and opened up considerably for the screen, about a bunch of characters who would be tripping all over themselves if they weren't so busy tripping all over each other. It's like "Pulp Fiction" with a dash of Irish fatalism and several pints of Guinness on the side.
