A young man who moves away from his hometown finds a variety of new ideas and dangerous temptations awaiting him in this
comedy from first-time director
David Gleeson.
Shane (
Michael Legge) is a man in his early twenties who leaves the small Irish town of his birth and gets a job in the comparatively big city of Limerick. However, he soon discovers that his new position bores him to distraction.
Shane also has to get an apartment, and finds himself looking for flats with
Vincent (
Allen Leech), a stylishly gay college student studying a course in fashion design. While
Shane isn't gay, he ends up sharing an apartment with
Vincent, and finds himself admiring his confidence and sense of style, not to mention his close friendship with
Gemma (
Amy Shiels), a beautiful girl who works at a nearby diner. One day,
Shane happens upon a cache of drugs, which belong to
Keith (
David Murray), a neighbor involved in the local heroin trade.
Keith discovers that
Shane has his dope and soon bullies him into joining his gang, running money and drugs between Limerick and Dublin.
Shane is more than reluctant, but knows that working as
Keith's mule will pay better than his old job and allow him to follow in
Vincent's footsteps and attend art school.
Cowboys & Angels was screened in competition at the
2004 Los Angeles Outfest, a festival of gay- and lesbian-themed films.
