Set in 1985, when the home video revolution is in full swing, Video Nasty tells the story of three teenagers who go on a quest to complete a cult VHS collection. Instead, they get mixed up in a murder investigation, becoming chief suspects and public enemies. The show features some rising stars of Irish acting, including Justin Daniels (Sanctuary: A Witch's Tale), Cal O'Driscoll (The Teacher), Leia Murphy (Fair City), Simone Kirby (Kneecap) and Kevin McGahern (Republic of Telly),
