The fi lm tells the story of Liam O’Leary, an Irish property developer of humble origins, who has made it big and fast on the back of the Celtic Tiger. His hubris has led him into a scheme to build a national stadium, but a rival developer has connived to thwart his plans. Wildly over-extended, Liam fi nds himself struggling in a receding market. Stressed and over-stretched, he seems on the verge of a mental breakdown when, to his horror, he sees his DOUBLE.
