- An unlikely friendship develops between the bipolar drummer of a rock band and an institutionalized teen living with Asperger's syndrome.
- Gabriel (DERMOT MURPHY) is a chaotic young rock drummer desperate to hide his recent Bipolar diagnosis from his increasingly exasperated band mates. At the therapeutic mixed ability football game he's obliged to attend as part of his treatment Gabriel is spectacularly upended by goalkeeper Christopher (JACOB McCARTHY), an institutionalised 17-year-old with Aspergers Syndrome. Having taken violent revenge, Gabriel faces expulsion - and the prospect of being sectioned - unless he "makes friends" with Christopher. When the isolated and socially-inept young goalkeeper takes this grudging offer of friendship literally, Gabriel finds his footsteps dogged and secrets threatened by an embarrassingly eager and dangerously tactless new disciple.
- Tells the story of the unlikely friendship formed between two young men: Gabriel, a reckless young drummer who revels in rejecting society's rules and Christopher, a 17-year-old with Asperger's Syndrome, who yearns to fit in. This heartwarming story shows the strength of the human bond in the face of adversity.
