Sex, Punk, and Bobby Sands follows the intersecting lives of six Belfast teens, navigating through the challenges of living in violent Belfast in 1981.

John Mohan is an outsider in the divided city. Born in the Republic, he does not fit in with the radical nationalists like his cousin Torin, nor his Protestant classmates who resent his people. His only escape is music. So when he sees an flyer looking for musicians for a punk band, he jumps at his chance to fit it, and makes a decision that will change his life forever.

The band, Shadowplay, is composed of John, Marc Evans, Matt Kelley, and Paul Kelley. Each boy comes from a radically different background and yet they bond over their love of punk and their burning desire to escape Belfast forever. 

Yet, trouble is created when John meets Marc's independent spirited sister, Gemma. They quickly fall in love and both sides of their city, Protestant and Catholic, quickly take notice of their relationship and danger is created for everyone they love and care for.

The band and their new manager, Gemma, refuse to succumb to the bigotry and strive for fame and fortune. Tragedy after tragedy strikes but they are determined to prevail and show the world that teens from the slums of Belfast can do anything.
