  Part thriller, part comedy, part portrait of a city, The Parts shares airtime with Joe Kavanagh, radio host struggling with interference from his private life; Barry, his producer, about to be ambushed by something suspiciously like love; Delly Roche, a woman who wrongly thinks death might provide her with a way out; Kitty Flood, over-eater, under-achiever, party to a secret from the past; Dr George Addison-Blake, stranded strange American with funny ideas about medical ethics; and Kez, the Dublin rent boy who links them all, without quite knowing it, to a single story, part hilarious, part scary, part beautiful. Just like life.

Down in the city, Barry, Joe's producer, is getting caught up in something and he's not quite sure what. While Joe is trying desperately to loose his foothold on life and is succeeding only in annoying his neighbours. And all the time, conducting business down by the river, doing his best to keep out of this, is Kez. Something is about to occur.
