Close to Home

Close to Home is an Irish drama set in west Belfast that tracks Sean's unraveling after he returns from university to his family home. Struggling to find direction, he drifts back into familiar patterns—irregular work, late nights, and simmering family conflict. When Sean assaults a stranger at a party, the incident shatters what little stability he has left, forcing him to confront the consequences of his actions and the deeper tensions that have defined his life. The series explores how quickly a young man can spiral when caught between the pull of home and the weight of his own choices, capturing the raw reality of working-class life in Northern Ireland.
