Synopsis: Set in 1993 in County Galway on the rocky island of Inishmore, off the coast of Ireland. Padraic is a self proclaimed lieutenant of a one man terrorist group with no feeling for those he kills, yet has an obsessive attachment to Thomas, his beloved cat. His father, Donny and his friend Davey are cat-watching when they find out someone has murdered poor wee Thomas. Was it an accident or an execution? Either way, the death must be concealed before 'Mad Padraic' returns from a stint of torture and bombing. Otherwise the recriminations will be horrifying.
