Bridget Byrne took a ferry to London to have an abortion but gave birth to a baby boy instead. Austin (Occi) Byrne thinks differently to the other boys, he's sure it's from an accident he had as a child, but maybe it's for another reason... Frowned on by the church, isolated by relatives, Occi and Bridget struggle to survive in a tough garrison town in 1960's rural Ireland. Occi grows to adulthood in dog-eat-dog world on a journey that takes him through murder and mayhem, love and death, returning ultimately to the beginning: a lost soul looking for recognition and a place to belong. Performance Length: Approximately 75 mins
