Plot Synopsis:
In a small Irish village where life mostly revolves around fishing and rounds of Guinness, the arrival of Lisa, a policewoman who is, let’s be honest, rather uptight, perturbs the daily tranquility. This is a disaster for Ciaran, her partner for whom working drunk constitutes the norm, who vows to do whatever he can to make his stuck-up yet beautiful colleague sweat. However, a recent meteor crash has activated his demons that, while owing nothing to alcoholic delirium, will aggravate both Ciaran and his community’s headache. At first, fishermen start to vanish, followed by lacerated whales washing up on shore. When a villager brings back a monster found in a lobster trap (which he had to kill due to its aggressiveness), the incompatible duo has to collaborate on a surreal case that will lead them to discover the impossible: an invasion of enormous, blood-thirsty amphibious aliens. With the help of the village scientist, Ciaran and Lisa discover that the ingestion of the alcohol-affected blood causes irreversible damage to these undesirable creatures. A ‘genius’ plan presents itself: assemble all fellow citizens at the pub for a massive drink-fest and staggering fight for survival.
