Synopsis

Quadriplegic, recovering alcoholic, lapsed Catholic Reilly O'Reilly is a man who doesn't take to labels sitting down - not by choice anyway. He and his differently abled friends find that sharing their lavish residence 'Maimed Manor' is a constant battle with con-men, do-gooders and deviants - and then there is the outside world to deal with as well.
