Ireland 1977. Eleven-year-old Damian Lynch is called in at the last moment to serve as an altar boy at an important mass in his local parish.

To make matters worse, Damian's team, Liverpool FC, are playing in their first European cup final in two weeks time.

Damien now faces a choice: either conform to the status quo or never watch his beloved Liverpool play again...
