The story

Jean (Pom Boyd) and Kate (Gina Moxley) are two "nearing-thirty" best friends, who share a flat in contemporary Dublin and support themselves by working as street performers in the city. The two women do battle with the conflicting pressures of friendship, family, love and the struggle for success. The unsettled Jean has a major attitude problem, and while she rejects the older generation as represented by her interfering mother Nora (Rosaleen Linehan), she is also unable to fully embrace the alternative lifestyle of her boyfriend musician, Martin (Sean Hughes), her partner Kate and their gay friend Orla (Cathy White).
