#JOE #MY NAME IS JOE THOMAS TORRENT SERIES#
When the mobster boss demands that Liam cover his wife's debt or they will break his legs, Joe tries to moderate and ends up striking a deal with the mob, leading to a series of unfortunate events. Sabine is a heroin addict who used the drugs she was supposed to sell and is in serious debt to a local drug dealer McGowan (David Hayman), an old friend of Joe's. Both are very tentative about getting involved but they are also drawn to each other and can think about the future for the first time. In a powerful scene, Sarah asks Joe why he stopped drinking and he tells her how he had beaten a woman he was dating and has never forgiven himself. We do not learn much about Sarah's past but it is obvious that the two have discovered each other at a crucial point in their life. When he meets Sarah, a social worker for the Health Department who is visiting Liam and his wife Sabine (Anne-Marie Kennedy) and young child, things start to look up. He also coaches the local soccer team composed of unemployed workers who have won only one game the entire year. Joe has been sober for a year and attends sessions of Alcoholics Anonymous.
