THE CRAIC

“The bad guys want them dead. Immigration want them out. All they want is a good time.”

When Fergus and Wesley get in the bad books of a local rough in their home town in Northern Ireland they decide to flee to Australia. After making a new life for themselves in Sydney they soon outstay their visas and must go on the run again, this time from the immigration officials.
