It's the mid 90s; sleepy British suburbia. Will Green is a teenage songwriter who wants nothing more than to be on Top of the Pops and gracing the cover of the NME with his band SharpShooter. Still reeling from his father's death, being on stage provides him with vital escapism from the day-to-day reality of dealing with his heavy-drinking mother and caring for his little sister Izzy.

When it comes to relationships, Will is living in the shadow of best friend and tempestuous lead singer Jake. That's until he meets Amy, a girl with headstrong aspirations of her own, who seemingly sees him for who he really is.

As SharpShooter embark on a riotous tour of the UK, Will must navigate tragedy and temptation to keep both his band together and first love alive.
