It's a dramatic journey of a different kind, where we are talking about the life of DJ music coordinator Jason. It is a journey full of drug discoveries through the streets of Dublin, where Jason stumbles from session to session somewhere between DJs, decks, drugs and other obstructions.

It is a seemingly realistic look at the brothers and sisters and the stumbling blocks that can befall them in the streets of Dublin.
