Spoilers ahead

In a remarkably unexpected series of events, Colm finds himself in a psychiatric hospital in Belfast, cutting hair while forming a friendship with George, another barber who harbors a deep love for poetry. Though cautioned against broaching the subject of verse, Colm and George indulge in spirited discussions about the intricacies of the art. Their intriguing exchange is soon interrupted by the introduction of an orderly, who leads them to the enigmatic “Scalper.” Once a powerful figure in the Northern Ireland hairpiece market, the Scalper’s downfall came when a mental breakdown prompted him to commit a shocking act - scalping some of his own clients. The duo seizes the opportunity to persuade the Scalper to hand over his coveted list of loyal customers.
