Precious little Talent

Joey is a young English law graduate, pretty and privileged, who bought into the idea that if she was a good girl who worked hard, went to the right university and got a good degree, the rest of her life would be handed to her on a plate. But the recession has put paid to that. Now, without a job, Joey has fled to New York to be with her academic father George (John McColl) for Christmas. But George's future is crumbling, and he is reliant on the help of Sam (Simon Ginty), a good-natured 19-year-old who is imbued with a sunny American optimism in the wake of Obama's election victory.
