    "description": "<p>As Ballina prepares for its biggest weekend of the year, the simmering feud between small-time drug-dealer, Cillian English, and County Mayo&rsquo;s enforcers, Gabe and Sketch Ferdia, spills over into violence and an ugly ultimatum.<br />When the reclusive Dev answers his door on Friday night he finds Doll &ndash; Cillian's teenage brother &ndash; in the clutches of Gabe and Sketch. Jostled by his nefarious cousins and goaded by his dead mother&rsquo;s dog, Dev is drawn headlong into the Ferdias&rsquo; revenge fantasy.<br />Meanwhile, seventeen-year-old Nicky can&rsquo;t shake the feeling something bad has happened to her boyfriend Doll. Hungover, reeling from a fractious Friday night and plagued by ghosts of her own, Nicky sets out on a feverish mission to save Doll, even as she questions her future in Ballina.</p>",
