Somewhere in modern day Rathmines, Dublin, struggling ‘artiste' Kevin Stokes and his long suffering journalist girlfriend, Mary, hatch a scheme to escape their dingy bedsit –with €800 deposit intact.
Elsewhere in Rathmines, Kevin's old college buddies, Seamus and Ray, have evicted knife-wielding housemate, Jorgen. They decide to set up a formal interview process with the clear intent to recruit the hottest female housemate ever. Meanwhile Kevin's escape plan quickly unravels and leads to a violent brush with death.
