As teenage Mods in 1980s Lurgan, Mark and Boyd were best mates. In their twenties they canoed, hiked and climbed their way round Ireland and beyond, but as life moved on, they slowly grew apart. Now, as they approach their 50th birthdays, they set out on a canoe trip they’ve always wanted to take, from Lough Neagh to the Atlantic ocean along the tranquil waters of the Lower Bann. As they meet fishermen, lock keepers, otters and kingfishers, they reflect on the different paths their lives have taken, and whether or not they’ve found happiness.
