Dublin. 1979. While the whole neighbourhood embarks on a public mass to welcome the Pope, punkette Reena ducks out with the aid of her grandmother – a rebel from an older generation. In the deserted streets of her suburb, she tracks down Jessop, a punk guitarist. Their attraction is immediate and by the time her parents return, renewed from the Pope’s blessing, Reena and Jessop have sealed their unholy alliance in other ways.
