A fast paced drama laced with humour and full of pathos. It’s 1969 as Sally, a young teenager navigates her way to independence as her dysfunctional family is falling apart around her. Her sister is pregnant, her father’s drinking is out of control and her mother’s religion is taking over. No one notices what is happening to her. They are all too wrapped up in their own chaos. Sally seeks solaces with her best friend, her boyfriend and her parish priest, but will she fly or will she fall as the secret and lies unfold before her.
