Camden, 1985. Behind the door of a London terrace, a queer Irish household is cobbling together a life of freedom they could never have imagined back home. But their community is on the edge of their greatest challenge yet. Being Irish in the UK is complicated. Being queer and Irish during the early years of the AIDS crisis is downright perilous.

As the epidemic threatens to engulf them, this resilient group of gay and lesbian Irish people know they have survived shame before, and they intend to survive it again.

Based on extensive research and first-hand testimony and bursting with Irish humour, this is a story of the people who survived, those who didn’t, and the walls that sheltered them from the storm. It celebrates chosen family, and the courage to keep fighting for dignity during the darkest years of the AIDS crisis.
