WHAT’S IT ABOUT?

After a career-ending football injury, young dreamer Davie (Berry) turns to promoting music gigs in Dundee with his friends, eventually scoring an ambitious Iron Maiden show. In over his head and heavily in debt to local gangster Fergie (Mills), Davie must pull out all the stops in order to accomplish his biggest scheme yet…

IN ONE SENTENCE, WHY SHOULD YOU BE EXCITED?

The unlikely (or maybe not so unlikely) worlds of Scottish crime and music promotion collide in a rip-roaring coming-of-age story with a killer soundtrack.
