The Angel's Share

Sneaking into the maternity ward to visit his girlfriend Leonie and hold his newborn son for the first time, Robbie swears that Luke will not have the same tragic life he has had. But with Leonie's father and local hood Clancy after him, Robbie's cornered. Escaping prison by the skin of his teeth, he's given one last chance... Serving a community service order, he meets Rhino, Albert and Mo who, like him, can't find work because of their criminal records. Little did Robbie imagine how turning to drink could change their lives - not cheap booze, but the best malt whiskies in the world. His newly discovered talent - a fine palate and a delicate 'nose' - leads Robbie and his crew to the strange world of fresh air and open spaces, the Scottish Highlands, and the biggest gamble of their lives. Will it be slopping out for the next twenty years, or a new future with uisge beatha, the 'Water of Life'? Only the angels know...
