This time he's Eddie, fresh out of a Ten year stretch and promising to keep it on the straight and narrow.

Unfortunately his younger brother Sean has got into debt with some local nasties, has pretty much driven the family boozer into the ground, and snorts any potential profits up his nose along with his live in girlfriend.

Eddie starts off well-meaning. Tries to make it all work with his brother, as well as his estranged daughter Chloe and his infant grandson.

But of course it all goes pear-shaped in a hurry, and Eddie has to sort things out the only way he knows how.

This is a film which is lifted by a decent bit of acting from the main cast, but is let down by a very weak script and little in the way of drama. We all know exactly where the film will end up, and it's not much fun getting there.
