Synopsis by Jason Buchanan

Four Irish software engineers resort to desperate measures to keep their heads above water over the course of one particularly harrowing workday in this sobering slice of life from actor-turned-director Brain Lally. The year is 2007: The Irish economy is on the brink, and it's the beginning of another work week at a small software company. But this Monday turns out to be anything but typical when four employees arrive at work and realize the bubble is finally about to burst. And before it does, each of the four vows to take their share - and then some, if possible. As greed takes hold and loyalties start to shift, common decency takes a back seat to survival instinct, drawing out the very worst in everyone involved.
