Among the attention received by Kenny for his film, he has received death threats, was asked to fight a bare-knuckle champion for his story, as well as when walking around town was nearly dragged into a van but managed to pull himself free. Kenny was quoted as saying "This is my town as much as it is theirs and I am still going to shoot this movie whether they like it or not and if they want to give me a hiding then let them".
The film is about the Longs and the Burkes, two families who are Galway’s biggest drug suppliers and involved in a deadly feud stemming from attempting to run organized crime in Galway. The film portrays the underground crime scene, bare-knuckle fighting, and young boys being sold as escort slaves.
