In James McAvoy’s first – and very impressive – outing as a director, two lads from Dundee con the music industry by pretending to be an established Californian rap duo.
This dark music comedy centres on Gavin Bain (Seamus McLean Ross) and Billy Boyd (Samuel Bottomley), two young Scots with dreams of being rap stars. After an open call audition with a major record label goes terribly because the executives can't take their accents seriously, the boys reinvent themselves as American rappers to secure record deals and reveal they're actually Scottish at the height of fame to call out the music industry. Problem is, their overnight success is not as fabulous as they had hoped. Look out for McAvoy hamming it up as a record company executive with Malcolm Tucker-style dialogue.
