‘Tá an chuma ort, a Chonchúir, go bhfuil saoire ag teastáil uait. Deireadh seachtaine fada, b’fhéidir. Thar lear. I bpríomhchathair éigin – Amstardam, b’fhéidir. Is ea, Amstardam, déarfainn – Van Gogh, Rembrandt, na canálacha, na rothair – d’ardóidís do chroí. Agus, fad atá tú ann, féadfaidh tú gar beag a dhéanamh dom …’ Fear óg míchiallmhar is ea Conchúr atá tar éis ligean don chearrbhachas an lámh in uachtar a fháil air. Tá sé báite i bhfiacha – lena mhuintir, lena chairde agus anois le coirpeach gránna. Níl pingin rua ag Conchúr leis an gcoirpeach a íoc, mar sin caithfidh sé gar a dhéanamh dó chun na fiacha a ghlanadh. Agus mura ndéanann sé an gar sin is léir nach go caoin ceansa a chaithfear leis ach a mhalairt ar fad!

Conchúr has no sense. He keeps borrowing money from family and friends and blowing it all at the bookies and on games of poker. And now he has got himself into debt with a local crime boss having borrowed money from him too. With nobody prepared to help him clear this particular debt. Conchúr realizes there is only one way of paying the crime boss back, and that is to do exactly what he tells him to do. And if he doesn’t do what he is told, Conchúr knows full well the consequences will be anything but pleasant.
