Thank God I wasn't a popular athlete in high school, especially in Ireland. I don't think I could handle all the hugging.
18-year-old Richard is a popular bourgeois alpha dog athlete of some kind. He and his friends have a party out at his parents' beachhouse. They take along a younger fellow. They're nice to each other. They're perfectly pleasant the way some school athletes are, trying to live up to the position they hold in school.
Richard is at a drunken party. He gets into a fight with his drunken friend then they walk off. The next day, he learns that his friend died. He apparently killed him.
I knew this was going to happen because it was in the description, but it didn't happen until 40 minutes in.
Will guilt stricken Richard admit what happened? Will he lay low and hope the cops don't take him away? Will he start peeling off the witnesses one by one?
Based on the novel Bad Day at Blackrock based on an actual murder in an Irish nightclub in 2000.
According to the internet, the minimum sentence for manslaughter in Ireland is a fine. The maximum sentence is life in prison. If you're sentenced to life in prison there, your case will usually be reviewed in seven years.
