White Irish Drinkers
A coming of age story set in 1975 working-class Brooklyn, in which two adolescent brothers dealing with their violent dad and their well-meaning yet inadequate mommy are caught up in a life of minor criminal offense. Older brother Danny devises a bold plan to steal adequate money for both to run away, timed around the turmoil of an upcoming Rolling Stones concert. The sensitive more youthful sibling, Brian, inevitably has a choice: stay dedicated to the bro with whom he shares a powerful love-hate bond, or use his surprise skill as a musician as his own ticket out of their dead-end presence.
