Me and Dad? Well, we’re on opposite sides of a gaping fault-line – No,
actually we’re on different planets. Rory’s dad is a struggling
singer-songwriter and is obsessed by one rock’n’roll hero. Despite years of
failure, his music is all that matters – nothing else: not job, not money, not
even family. So Rory’s home life is unpredictable enough. But when his two best
mates hook up with his dad to release a music viral, everything flips.
