Pure Mule: The Last Weekend

Pure Mule: The Last Weekend reunites many of the much-loved characters of the original series set in a community now in economic freefall.

Scobie (Garrett Lombard), once a skilled labourer, is now a security guard on an abandoned building site. With no real employment prospects, he's already booked on a flight to Australia to join his brother and hopefully start a new life. But he's not sure he's ready to leave home. He's still someone in this town. He has a comfortable, casual relationship with single mother Julie (Orla Fitzgerald) and he's still popular with the ladies, although younger local buck Dean (Diarmuid Noyes) seems to be stealing his thunder more and more lately.

The weekend Scobie is due to depart, Jennifer (Charlene McKenna) suddenly returns to the town after a four year absence in England, to bury her mother. Jennifer has brought her boyfriend of two years Tom (JJ Feild), the Englishman who helped her get her act together after some dark times in London.

Scobie's doubts about leaving grow, much to the consternation of his mother Angela (Gail Fitzpatrick) and her boyfriend Cliff (Liam Carney).
