Synopsis

The late
1980s.

Robin
dreams of becoming Jim Kerr, singer in the best band in the world, Simple
Minds, despite having no talent whatsoever.

Fliss is
a musical genius, perhaps the East Midlands’ answer to Kate Bush, if only she
had more confidence.

Until
rock stardom inevitably descends upon him, Robin takes a job at the local
garage, where for the first time in his life he finds a sense of purpose; while
Fliss, pushed by her mother, reluctantly auditions for TV’s biggest talent show
and proves an instant hit.

When
dozens of fast cars are stolen, old mechanic Vern recruits Robin to help him
investigate suspicious goings-on at a derelict railway yard on the edge of
Sherwood Forest.

It’s all
a bit of a lark until somebody gets killed and Robin and Fliss find themselves
entangled in a police investigation.

But does
death mean the end of their romantic and musical dreams, or is it only just the
beginning?
