This was basically the story of a young Irish youth who after leaving school was in a dead-end job and wandered aimlessly with friends getting drunk and causing trouble. It related his concerns and feelings of leaving school with a bleak future: "As soon as you leave school and leave your home town and leave your friends, everything changes. You're suddenly stripped of your certainties. You begin to think that your personality was never anything more than a Hoover bag full of fluff. Your brain is just one big hard mass of overchewed Wrigley's gum. And that's all there is to it." The story began with a comedic episode but it soon changed into a very dark story expressing how people react to situations in life. It included the problems of fitting in, having a relationship with someone you're not really in love with, and the jealousies that can result. This all leads to a surprising and tragic conclusion. Overall I would recommend this one.
