The film stars Brenock O’Connor and Owen Colgan as Dermot and Elvis, two quirky music loving but unlikely friends from Tyrone. Dermot's promising music career has not panned out as anticipated, and Elvis is going through a tough divorce. To top it all off, their much loved record shop is threatened by scheming landlady Sadie (Derry Girls’ Tara Lynn O’Neill), after falling four months behind on the rent. Dermot has outgrown his life in Omagh, including his girlfriend (Love Island’s Maura Higgins), and is considering leaving Ireland to pursue his dream of becoming a professional musician. But he doesn't know how to do that without breaking his friend's heart.
Ireland is a small place; you could walk it in a month, cycle it in a week, or thumb it in a day; however, for our hapless heroes, a simple road trip brings unexpected challenges!
Is the universe throwing them a lifeline when they discover a box of priceless records for sale at a rock-bottom price? The problem is that Dermot and Elvis have just two days to travel from Omagh to Cork to collect their prize - in a borrowed car that's older than the hills.
During a warmly funny road trip, the lads encounter a nun, a stripper, a stuffed fox, and an angry chicken and put their friendship to the ultimate test, proving that true friendship is
hard to find.
Can they make it to Cork, get box of records, and make it back home to save the shop in
time?
This life-affirming comedy bromance promises to raise a smile, bring a tune to your ears, and warm your heart.
The film also stars veteran musician and Horslips member Barry Devlin, and Pussycat Doll Kimberly Wyatt.
