“Boys of Tommen” is set in an Irish private school and depicts the forbidden love between Johnny Kavanagh, a star rugby player who is about to turn professional, and Shannon Lynch, a shy rookie girl.
“Both teenagers are hiding secrets. Johnny suffers a potentially career-ending injury, and Shannon has a troubled and violent home life,” the synopsis reads. “Through a secret and tense connection, two teenagers from opposite worlds fight against the odds and find a way to save each other.”
