A group of teenagers, adrift from their families, scraping together a makeshift home in the House that Everyone Forgot. According to Johnner, it's like camping, like being on your holidays all the time. But then Johnner's just a kid. They find out soon enough, all of them, just how harsh life is when you're young, poor and homeless. The reality of living rough in a Dublin squat faces them with more difficult challenges in their already troubled lives.
