Synopsis
Christmas Eve. A Dublin home that's
in need of a woman's touch
Hard drinking Sharkey Harkin has
returned home to care for recently blinded brother Richard. Having
sworn off the booze for the holidays he makes the curious decision
to invite two even harder drinking pub mates over for the evening.
He didn't count on the stranger's arrival
That's when we learn of secrets kept,
moral debts to be paid and personal clashes with evil
The Road to Broadway
