Orphans

When Glasgow matriarch Mrs. Flynn passes away, her four adult children -- Thomas, Michael, Sheila and John -- gather at her home to mourn. Having prepared for the funeral in the morning, the four go to the pub for a drink. When Thomas, the eldest, performs his mother's favorite song karaoke-style and suddenly breaks down crying, Duncan, a tough pub patron, ridicules him. Michael, the second-eldest, fights Duncan and emerges with a stab wound in the gut. As Michael tries to stop the bleeding, he tells college-age John (McCole, RUSHMORE) of the scuffle and John vows revenge. Over the course of this already-taxing night, each sibling has a separate adventure: Thomas holds vigil in the church over his mother's casket. John searches for Duncan with the aid of his psychopathic Chinese-food-delivering cousin, Tanga. Sheila relies on the kindness of a friendly little girl when her motorized wheelchair ceases to work. Michael suffers bloodloss and the wrath of the world's fiercest pub owner as he tries to make it till morning so that he can pass off his wound as a work-related injury, thus collecting workers' compensation. Unfortunately, a violent thunderstorm is about to turn the city upside down, making the night even more difficult for the grieving Flynn clan to weather.
