“In darkest rural Ireland, ex-boxer Arm has become the feared enforcer for the drugdealing Devers family, whilst also trying to be a good father to his autistic five-yearold son, Jack. Torn between these two families, Arm is asked to kill for the first time, and his attempt to do the right thing endangers everyone he holds dear”
