Features the personal exploits of a 16 year old girl, her family and friends during the Troubles in the early 90's...As the term begins, there is a new student in the girls' school in Derry. He is a boy, who can't go to the local boys' school for fear there might be trouble because he is English...The girls and James (Dylan Llewellyn) stay up all night to revise for an important exam but Erin's (Saoirse-Monica Jackson) concern for her dead dog Toto and Granda's feud with Maureen Malarkey pale beside fear of failure. An alleged sighting of a weeping icon leads to a meeting with the handsome Father Peter (Peter Campion) and local fame for the quartet as being witnesses to a miracle. Unfortunately an admission from Erin's mother shows her that miracles do not happen...Gerry loses the docket to claim Mary's birthday photos, to the delight of scornful Granda but is rescued when the photo shop assistant admits a crush on Aunt Sarah (Kathy Kiera Clarke). Erin is overjoyed to step in a editor of the school magazine, despite general opposition. However the discovery of an anonymous piece by a suicidal lesbian provides her with a best-selling scoop.
