- Ireland 1977. Eleven-year-old Damian Lynch (Scott Graham) is called in at the last moment to serve as an altar boy at an important mass in his local parish. Following his last appearance as an altar boy when he knocked Father O'Toole off the altar, Damien is serving a 3 month ban from his only passion in life...football. To make matters worse, Damian's team, Liverpool FC, are playing in their first European cup final in two weeks time. Damien's father (Michael McElhatton) offers him a reprieve and crucially a chance to see the European cup final if he serves the mass correctly. Damien now faces a choice: either conform to the status quo or never watch his beloved Liverpool play again...—Anonymous
- Damien Lynch is a reluctant altar boy. His altar boy days may be over because of an incident at a church service for which his embarrassed father, Pat Lynch, punishes him: no football of any sort for three months. This punishment is a fate worse than death for Damien as his beloved team, Liverpool, is in the European Cup final. Damien may get some redemption as despite the church elders' reluctance to use him, he is the only trained altar boy available for the upcoming mass being presided over by the visiting Archbishop. Damien's father promises to lift his punishment if he redeems himself at the Archbishop's mass, that lifting of punishment in time for the European Cup final. Fail, and the punishment gets extended indefinitely. Mr. Quinn's locker room pep talk and Damien's own thoughts about Liverpool may have some affect on what happens at that mass.—Huggo
