Synopsis
And one man in his time plays many parts, His acts being seven ages. Dublin Seven is the gritty, violent, sometimes raunchy story of nineteen-year-old Shane, coming up as a small-time coke dealer in Dublin. Having just left school and keen to assert his independence, Shane loses himself in the tail end of Celtic Tiger nightlife. Through a chance meeting with a local gangster, he sets himself up in business. --C'mere. D'ye know where I'd get a bit of tha stuff? Shane asked Griffo. --It's deadly so it is. --Yeah no bother kid, it's always there if ye want it, anytime. Soon, Shane's life is drugs, dance music, gangsters - and a beautiful girlfriend. But as the Celtic Tiger limps out of sight, so does Shane's luck. The threats multiply, his paranoia builds and the violence creeps closer. Dublin Seven is a classic coming-of-age gangster tale, combined with a troubled urban romance. An explosive cross between Trainspotting and Love/Hate.
