The Spin

Four months overdue rent, three valuable records, two clueless friends and one hell of a journey! 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! Meet lifelong pals Dermot and Elvis, two quirky, music-loving Tyrone boys who are down on their luck. 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, after falling behind on the rent. 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. This life-affirming comedy bromance promises to raise a smile, bring a tune to your ears, and warm your heart.
