Synopsis:

Malachy and Luke are best friends in spite of the fact that they come from very different backgrounds. Both boys live in Belfast albeit on different sides of the tracks, or rather, class barriers. Malachy is a model pupil from an intact family and has a part-time job at a leisureplex; Luke lives with his alcoholic father and sells drugs for his brother, Chris. Both friends spend a fantastic summer together until Michelle, Malachy's boss's daughter, turns up. Michelle has been living in London. Both boys are smitten from the word go. Michelle's father Crilly doesn't have much time for his daughter, he's much more interested in her best friend, Donna, with whom he is having a not-so-secret affair. Michelle feels neglected. The fact that the boys have the hots for her suits her just fine. And because she flirts with both of them in equal measure the two friends soon become rivals.

With their exams over, best friends Malachy (Rupert Grint, Harry Potter franchise) and Luke (The Misfits) are out to have one hell of a summer. However, the arrival of Michelle (Kimbereley Nixon, Angus Thongs & Perfect Snogging), a captivating but troubled beauty, tests their friendship to the limit as she encourages the two boys to carry out increasingly dangerous and illegal stunts in the battle for her affections. As the competition between Malachy and Luke spirals out of control the future paths of all three are thrown into question.

Cherry Bomb follows teenagers Luke, Malachy, and Michelle as they embark on a wild weekend of drink, drugs, shop-lifting and stealing cars. But what starts out as a game turns deadly serious when the three discover that they can't get off the wild ride they've set in motion.
