Summary:Little Lamb, Amanda, Steve, Lep and Fat are five young Dubliners unable to escape cyclical patterns of self-destruction: drugs, obesity, violence, rape and teenage pregnancy. Little Lamb is a teen mother desperately trying to carve out a worthwhile life for herself and her child, while her sister Amanda is trying to play happy house with her drug-dealing boyfriend Steve. Tying the five together, Little Lamb's love interest and father of her child Lep is an addict dependent on Steve. His overweight sister Fat is the only remaining member of his family. When Little Lamb is raped by the brutish Steve, the group's escalating troubles come to a head. Stifled by the city and the memories it holds for her, Little Lamb is driven to abandon her child and leave the country entirely.
