Irish Independent

Peter Coonan, an actor who has played his fair share of morally corrupt chancers, is working overtime in this competent and compelling drama from first-time feature filmmaker Dermot Malone.
It’s 2019, and Coonan is Frankie, a Dublin taxi-firm owner with the weight of the world on his shoulders. Frankie used to be a different man – a nastier one, but it all came crashing down a decade ago at his daughter’s birthday party. What exactly happened that day? We’ll find out soon enough.
