DESCRIPTION

On the fringes of Dublin, Kylie and Dylan - two pre-teen kids - live in a suburban housing estate devoid of life, colour and the prospects of escape. Kylie lives with five other siblings and her overworked mother. Next door, Dylan lives in the shadow of an abusive alcoholic father and the memory of an elder brother who ran away from home two years previously. After a violent altercation with his father, Dylan runs away from home and Kylie decides to run away with him. Together they make their way to the magical night time lights of inner city Dublin, to search for Dylan's brother, and in the hope of finding, through him, the possibility of a new life.
