What happened, flash didn't fire? The photo is way beyond repair. You can't brighten up something that's not even there. Take alook at this:

What's odd is your flash is exif-reported to have fired while your
ISO equivalent was 140, but I guess you were too far from them, even
though you had center-weighting on.

So there's very little information there, and noise/grain is immense.
But here's what I could do with Photoshop CS (I) and Noiseware
without fussing too much.
