A tender, nostalgic coming-of-age story set against the backdrop of The Troubles, balancing childhood innocence and familial warmth with the encroaching darkness of sectarian conflict.

Buddy is a young boy on the cusp of adolescence, whose life is filled with familial love, childhood hijinks, and a blossoming romance. Yet, with his beloved hometown caught up in increasing turmoil, his family faces a momentous choice: hope the conflict will pass or leave everything they know behind for a new life.
