An Everlasting Piece

Colm finds himself in a psychiatric hospital in Belfast, a surprising situation for anyone. While there, he starts cutting hair and quickly develops a friendship with George, another patient who has a passion for poetry.

Despite being cautioned against discussing poetry, Colm and George dive into enthusiastic conversations about it. Their discussions reveal a deep connection formed over their shared interest in the arts, strengthening their bond.

The dynamic of the hospital changes with the arrival of an orderly who introduces Colm and George to the Scalper. Once a prominent figure in the hairpiece industry, the Scalper faced disgrace after an outburst that led to his mental breakdown.

Taking advantage of the Scalper's fall from grace, Colm and George decide to start their own business, playfully naming it 'The Piece People'. With help from Bronagh, Colm's girlfriend, they dream of restoring the business to its former glory.

Their first crucial meeting is set with Mr. Black, a potential customer suspected of having past connections to the Scalper. A startling connection is revealed when Bronagh remembers seeing him in the news related to a violent incident.

Colm and George encounter unexpected competition from a rival business named 'Toupée or not Toupée', which also controls part of the Scalper's former customer list. This revelation puts pressure on them as they navigate the competitive landscape.

Determined to gain an edge in the market, they seek advice from their supplier, Wigs Of Wimbledon. They discover an important upcoming meeting where businesses can compete for exclusive rights to sell hairpieces in Northern Ireland.

While attempting to secure sales, Colm and George face a setback when a deal with a farmer falls through. Their rivals outbid them, showcasing the cutthroat nature of the wig business.

On an isolated road, Colm and George have a tense encounter with members of the Irish Republican Army (IRA). In a surreal moment, they sell a dog-chewed wig to the IRA leader without realizing its less-than-ideal condition.

The unique wig sold to the IRA inadvertently links Colm and George to a crime scene, resulting in an interrogation by the Royal Ulster Constabulary. This pressure tests their partnership and threatens their entrepreneurial ambitions.

An IRA operative pressures Colm to surrender his entire wig inventory to assist with their misadventures. Colm fiercely resists, emphasizing his commitment to George and their business, fearing that cooperation would jeopardize their chances.

In search of solace, Colm attends a poetry reading organized by George. The atmosphere helps them reconcile their differences, allowing them to refocus on their business endeavors.

With Bronagh's support, Colm and George uncover a surprising trend: many British Army soldiers in Northern Ireland are suffering from alopecia due to stress. This leads them to capitalize on the newfound information to secure a government contract.

Utilizing their intelligence about soldiers' needs, Colm and George triumphantly secure a contract to supply wigs to the military. This venture solidifies their reputation as top wig providers in Northern Ireland.

The duo successfully navigates through fierce competition, ultimately claiming exclusive rights to operate across the entirety of Northern Ireland. Their journey showcases resilience in the face of adversity and celebrates their entrepreneurial spirit.
