Description: Lorcán Ó Tuathail is eighteen years old and a professional soccer player. Originally from Ireland but living in Spain since he was very young, he's a skilled goalkeeper who plays for one of Barcelona FC's junior teams and is thrilled when he is selected for the senior team. But the reason they moved to Barcelona in the first place was because of his father's criminal activity and involvement in drugs. And his brothers, a pair of thugs, are taking a special interest in young Lorcán and the gambling opportunities that could make them a lot of money as a result of their nephew playing professionally in La Liga.
