Synopsis:

This is the story of one man's weekend, a weekend in which everything could change

These lines could change everything.
He sips more of his tinny.
Imagines a new life.

Aidy's just punched a co-worker, but he hasn't got time to deal with the fallout. With a deadline fast looming he must get home, knuckle down and finish the story he's been working on, a story he hasn't been able to stop thinking about. It's the story of a falling plane and of a grieving mother.

Set across one weekend, About to Fall Apart is the exhilarating story of a man of mixed heritage living on the Irish border as he tries to stay positive, reconnect with his children and maybe, even, find his own birth mother.
