Synopsis

The Irish centres on Buddy, a feared figure at the top of his operation, who learns that one of his men has been kidnapped. With time working against him, Buddy turns to Chas, a reluctant witness who may hold the key to what happened. What follows is a tense exchange driven by power, pressure, and unspoken threat. As Buddy pushes for answers, it becomes clear that words alone may not be enough to get the information he needs. The situation hangs on the edge of control, with the looming presence of Myles suggesting darker consequences if the truth does not come out. The Irish plays out as a tightly focused confrontation, hinting at a larger criminal world beyond the room.
