Pixie

Pixie is a British crime comedy set in Ireland. Its central character is a young woman who wants to avenge her mother's death and plans a robbery as a way out of her small-town life and her criminal family. When the scheme goes wrong, she finds herself on the run with a stolen drug haul, pursued by gangsters. Two young men who stumble into saving her life are persuaded to join her, and the three of them try to escape the reach of a former priest turned crime boss. The film is directed by Barnaby Thompson, from a screenplay by Preston Thompson.
