Eolas faoi ‘Kings’:
I lár na seachtóidÃ, chuaigh grúpa d’fhir óige ó Iarthar na hÉireann go Londain ar thóir saol nÃos fearr in áit ina bhféadfaidÃs maireachtáil mar ‘Kings’. Casann siad ar a chéile arÃs trÃocha bliain ina dhiaidh sin. Tá a gcara is óige, Jackie, imithe ar shlà na fÃrinne. Tá trÃocha bliain crua caite ag cuid acu. Tá siad tuirseach traochta anois i ndiaidh a gcuid oibre crua, agus chaill siad a misneach ar na bóithre agus ar láithreáin tógála na Breataine. Gruaim agus mÃdhÃlseacht gan dóchas atá anois orthu. Nuair a thagann fÃrinneachtaà báis Jackie agus sean-rúnda loma chun solais, soiléirÃodh do na fir gurb iad do chairde a bhriseann do chroà - agus do chairde a thugann chun suaimhnis é.
In the mid 1970s a group of young men left the west of Ireland, bound for London, filled with ambition for a better life in a place where they could be kings. Thirty years have passed when they meet again. Their youngest friend, Jackie has died. For some of them those thirty years have been hard. Their muscle has been spent, their hopes dashed on the roads and building sites of Britain, to be replaced with a sense of hopeless disaffection. As the truth about Jackies death is uncovered, and long-held secrets are laid bare, the men discover that ultimately it is your friends who break your heart - and your friends who can save it.
