I've Always Liked the Name Marcus

Meet Marcus, your typical Northern Ireland lad with a twist - he's got a knack for trying on stereotypes like they're snapbacks. But when a surprise encounter turns his world upside down, Marcus finds himself sorting through a puzzle of race, identity, and multiple hilarious versions of himself.
