Synopsis:

Teased and bullied as a child because he has no father, Occi Byrne (Martin McCann) grows up plagued by anger, confusion and pain. In the hopes of unlocking his own identity and overcoming the past that haunts him, Occi sets out to find his father and discover the secret of his birth. Each feature will be preceded by a short film: "Days Like This," (2007, 3 min.) Director Joel Simon tells the story of a man looking back on the great day: when his father took him to an international soccer match.

Teased and bullied as a child because he has no father, Austin Byrne grows up plagued by anger, confusion and pain. In the hopes of unlocking his own identity and overcoming the past that haunts him, Austin sets out to find his father and discover the secret of his birth. Remaining fiercely loyal to his mother, Austin is consistently tested on his journey, but eventually learns the true power that comes with love, friendship and most of all, a sense of belonging.
