‘Flicker’ is a portrait of Danny (Peter Newington), a typical twenty-something Dubliner, who gets assaulted one night in a city centre nightclub. Escaping the incident with only minor injuries, Danny throws himself back into his old routine: early-morning classes, five-a-side football, late nights on the sesh with the lads. Pretty soon, however, Danny begins to realise that the assault has affected him in more ways than one.

In a rural Irish town, a teen lives a double life. One being his true self in a Dublin acting troupe as Kieran, a boy. The other, while around his religious family, must play the part of a girl. When he falls reluctantly in love with the neighbor boy back home, who also does not know he is trans, will Kieran finally face his truth?
