The cast features Jeff Binder as James, Andrew Connolly as Christy, Dashiell Eaves as Joey, Peter Gerety as Donny, Domhnall Gleeson as Davey, Brian d'Arcy James as Brendan, Alison Pill as Mairead and David Wilmot as the title character, Padraic, who has a soft spot in his heart for his pussycast, Wee Thomas. The sudden, suspicious death of the cat is what spins the plot.
