With echoes of Nick Hornby’s ‘High Fidelity’, this road movie comedy finds two music-loving friends, who travel the length of Ireland to save their record store from closure.
Dermot (Brenock O’Connor) and Elvis (Owen Colgan) are a couple of guys from Northern Ireland who run a record shop in Omagh, County Tyrone, dealing in old-school vinyl, but they are terrorised by their mean landlord (Tara Lynne O’Neill from ‘Derry Girls’). They desperately need cash for rent arrears when Dermot discovers that a farmer in Cork is offering what appear to be hugely valuable records by the blues legend Robert Johnson for just £30 – not realising their real value. The boys hope to sell the precious discs for a mouthwatering ‘40 grand’, but does that mean they are selling their souls, the way Robert Johnson is supposed to have done at a remote crossroads?
