This screenplay tells the story of the Beneventi family, who still grieving the loss of their mother, are struggling to make a living from their fish 'n' chip shop whilst plunging into debt. But when eldest brother Frank robs the local betting shop, things start to look up. Based on the stage play "This Lime Tree Bower" by the same author, this is the story of one unintentionally eventful weekend in an out-of-season Irish seaside resort.
