Two Wrongs is a dark tale that unravels over the course of a long winter night. As events spiral out of control, we witness what we believe to be a desire for justice. The reality is far more disturbing,
Trouble has a habit of finding Jason Lalor. It doesn't help that Jason's best friend since he was a child is a petty criminal, but, for the first time in his life, Jason believes that everything is about to change. He's finally got it together with Kate and been accepted into the Irish army. Things are looking up.
Leanne Power is ready to take the plunge. Trevor would have to accept that this is the end of 26 years of marriage. There was no turning back - she loved Tom now and was going to begin a new life with him.
Trevor Power is a man of authority laid low by an ignominious exit from the police force. His permanently injured shoulder is a testament to the years he spent upholding the law - a law he no longer respects.
It's night. Tom stands in the kitchen of Trevor and Leanne's house. Two teenage boys are lying bound, bruised and bleeding on the floor. Trevor has seriously compromised the crime scene - the scene of Leanne's murder. Tom has been cheated of a life with Leanne, the woman he loves. Cheated by Trevor, who'd failed to defend her, and by these thugs, who'd senselessly murdered her. Tom knows he has to avenge Leanne.
Trevor has seen it so many times - thieves, murderers and rapists doing worthless prison time or even walking free on a technicality. He and Tom would have to put their deep grievances aside if Leanne's killers were to be justly punished - they couldn't leave it to chance, to the courts. Trevor and Tom make a pact. Justice will be done.
Jason is terrified. Dave has killed the woman, he said it was an accident but admitted he'd hit her hard. Now they lay on the kitchen floor at the mercy of these two old men. At first Jason had worried about Kate, about the cops, about prison. Now his fear was more immediate - one of the men pointed a shotgun at Dave and fired once.
Two Wrongs is a dark recounting of the events which take place on a winter night in a rural house. Emotions and actions spiral out of control as we witness what we believe to be a desire for swift justice. The reality is far more disturbing.
