Michael McCrae ( Cillian Murphy ) lives in Dublin , Ireland , where he owes €1,000 to gang leader Darren Perrier ( Brendan Gleeson ). If he misses his deadline, the gang will punish him by breaking a limb (and the longer he takes, the more limbs they will break). Desperate for the money, he seeks financial aid from "The Mutt" ( Liam Cunningham ) who is known as a criminal lender. Things become complicated, however, when his estranged father Jim ( Jim Broadbent ) and his secret crush, Brenda "Bren" ( Jodie Whittaker ) become involved, and when Bren shoots and kills one of the gang members who was sent to deliver his first punishment, Perrier forsakes the money owed and instead puts out a €10,000 bounty for Michael and Bren. The film follows the three as they desperately seek to salvage the situation before Perrier can capture them.
