Irish drama following three brothers who set out on a journey to get their ailing father a new watch. When his dad's precious watch gets smashed, 17-year-old Noel (Timmy Creed) is determined to get him a replacement from the arcade machine at the Ballybunion seaside. He borrows an old van and makes his way across the country with his younger brothers, football-crazy joker Paudie (Paul Courtney) and naive 'Star Wars' fanatic Scwally (T.J. Griffin), in tow. Despite their bickering and the problems they encounter on the way, the brothers ultimately grow closer throughout their journey.
