A full-cast dramatization of one of the great classics of contemporary Western literature. Dorian Gray, an effete young gentleman, is the subject of a striking portrait by the artist Basil Hallward. Gray’s narcissism is awakened, and he embraces a lifestyle of hedonism and casual cruelties. Increasingly consumed by his own vanity, he is forced to confront his true inner-self, in a manner that is as shocking as it is terrifying.

A young girl, Flo, befriends an old horse kept in the stables of her riding school. She learns that this horse, Augustus, was once a world champion show jumper, but is now crippled and bitter. Is it Flo's imagination, or is there always the same magpie somewhere near this horse? Little does she know that the two animals are lifelong friends who share a magical secret.

It's downbeat Dublin in the late 1980s. Temple Bar, bedsits, and dole queues. Fred, a loser adrift in the world, and Maggie, a fiercely intelligent and complicated writer, are brought together through circumstances they think they can handle, whereas they are totally out of their depth. In this first part of a planned trilogy, the key ingredients are that the "Butterfly Effect" of two seemingly fringe characters in their society turn out to trigger changes far beyond their plans or wishes.

This memoir tells the story of the first 21 years of my life, growing up and coming of age in the working class Dublin Corporation housing estate of Crumlin.
