John Paul McGuinness is a skinny metalhead from Glasgow. On his 18th birthday, his older sister Sarah dies of a heroin overdose at a party in their family home. Crippled with grief and unable to watch his parents fall apart, John Paul joins the army to escape, leaving Glasgow behind. Fifteen years later, now living in New York, he receives a phone call from his mother telling him his father has passed away. He returns to Glasgow for the first time in fifteen years to bury his father, only to cross paths with the man who sold his sister the heroin that killed her.
