The synopsis for the flick reads: 'As Steve fights to protect the school's integrity and impending closure, we witness him grappling with his own mental health. In parallel to Steve's struggles, we meet Shy (Jay Lycurgo), a troubled teen caught between his past and what lies ahead as he tries to reconcile his inner fragility with his impulse for self-destruction and violence.'
The film comes from the Belgian director Tim Mielants (who also worked with Murphy on Small Things Like These and Peaky Blinders) and stars Tracey Ullman alongside the Cork native.
Murphy not only stars in the film, but he also act as producer through his Big Things Films company alongside partner Alan Moloney. Simbi Ajikawo and Emily Watson also star.
