It's 1993 and the Northern Ireland peace process is struggling to come together. Padraic, a member of the Irish National Liberation Army, chooses to leave Belfast and return to Inishmore upon news that his beloved cat is ill. When he arrives, he learns the feline has suffered a much more tragic and immediate fate. Padriac, a man whose mental instability is legendary, is now hell-bent on revenge - and things are about to get bloody - very, very bloody.
