Growing up in Dublin in the 70's, Neil and Ivan McCormick are destined to be rock stars. Or so they think. There’s only one little problem. The boy sitting on the other side of the classroom has plans of his own... and his name is Bono. While the brothers gig in strip clubs and smoky bars, U2's fame grows and soon they are playing to screaming thousands in sports arenas. Then one historical day in 1985 LiveAid confirms that their old school friends have somehow become the biggest band in the world. And Neil has a terrible secret. At school Ivan had actually auditioned to be in U2. In class the next day Bono asked Neil to tell his little brother they want him for the band. Jealous and with his own plans, Neil told Bono that Ivan wasn't interested. Ivan still doesn't know, but it's a secret that's going to come out sooner or later...
