Scars Damon Maher
Sam Smith is a troubled lad. He just canšt seem to settle down. Pining for his ex-girlfriend, he takes dubious solace in the company of his two best mates, Connor and Donnie, who both share his inability to cope with the rigours of post-university adulthood. Hešs the wrong side of twenty-five; teaches in a jungle of a High School and has recently acquired both a broken heart and a busted nose. Hešs also got a hangover. But this onešs not about too much beer. How he wishes that it were. For last night, on the way home from their beloved pub, the three of them stumbled upon a gruesome mob of men harassing a terrified girl. A one-sided scuffle ensued and now his best mate lies in a hospital bed. And now, as if to compound their anguish, the three of them are about to become unwittingly embroiled in a world of gangsters and dodgy dealing, beginning a journey that will both plague and purge them over the coming weeks.
