The Night Alive follows the lives of four modern Dubliners who are trying to get by, helping each other stay one step ahead of the past. Tommy’s a middle-aged misfit renting a run-down room in his uncle Maurice’s house, rolling from one get-rich-quick scheme to the other with his pal Doc, a homeless mystic. One day he rescues Aimee from a physical attack by a shadowy figure in her life. She’s a twenty-something lass who hasn’t had it too easy herself. Their past won’t let go easily, but together there’s a glimmer of hope that they could make something more of their future. Something extraordinary.
