Synopsis
Will, a man with a criminal past, is released from prison on compassionate leave to care for his niece Stacey after the death of her mother. Will and Stacey take off for the Irish midlands to pursue what Stacey believes to be a fresh start, a chance for them to become a real family. But her hopes are quickly dashed when they suffer a series of setbacks: she is refused admission to the local school because of her recently developed narcolepsy; Will repeatedly comes close to breaking his prison-ordered curfew; and his attempts at being a father figure to her prove disastrous. However a burgeoning friendship with a local Belgian woman and her son provides a beacon of hope for Will and Stacey, so they make tentative steps towards becoming a family.
