The film opens with the end. This is Joshua being beaten up by Seamus. Sharply we cut to black whilst also cutting back 12 hours. The viewer is immediately introduced to 2 of our main characters, also we learn more about WHY Joshua was beaten up. These 2 characters are Joshua the leading male and Ciara the leading female. The entire film is in a way about their relationship due to the ‘Montague’s & Capulet’s’ aspect of the relationship.
Once we are introduced to these 2 characters we establish how dysfunctional the relationship is, neither know where they stand. It almost seems like both of them are just in it to bide time. It soon becomes apparent this is partly true; we discover this once we are introduced to Joshua’s conflicting love interest Jane. She is far more similar to Joshua with similar upbringing and tastes. Despite this her and Ciara are still good friends through school, neither know of the others relationship with Joshua.
The relationships are beginning to cross paths and in an unpredictable series of events both Ciara & Jane turn up to Joshua’s little gathering (this is due to Joshua’s Mum leaving to visit her parents up north). The part gets underway and before we know it Jane and Joshua have found their way into his bedroom, the inevitable happens and Ciara walks in. She certainly wasn’t expecting this and is so distraught that she leaves quickly whilst in tears. Jane goes after her trying to explain all of the events however Ciara has already got home.
Once Ciara’s brother (Seamus) gets home to find his little sister in tears he turns vowing to get revenge for Joshua’s rash actions. Midnight is nearing and we are aware of what is soon to happen.
At Joshua’s party supplies are running low, this is what leads Joshua to leave his house and go to the shop. Seamus is waiting and as soon as Joshua leaves it’s back to the beginning.
Joshua is beaten up and we cut to the hospital where Ciara is waiting. She’s concerned and the two make up and end up getting together.
