Synopsis : The new feature-length mockumentary sees Fran, the assistant manager of non-league side St Peter’s Celtic, try to engineer an upset over Shamrock Rovers in the first round of the FAI Cup.
When an Irish football club becomes embroiled in an international match-fixing scandal, their hapless assistant manager, Fran Costello, finds himself way out of his league.
Competing in the FAI Cup for the first time is a dream come true for Fran and his beloved amateur club St. Peter’s Celtic, but when Fran learns that some of his players have taken a bribe to fix the match, he turns detective in the hope of catching the rats. Everyone is a suspect in this hilarious whodunnit and Fran’s life is further complicated by a slow-burning romance with Jackie Charlton - one of his player’s mothers. For someone who has used football to shy away from life, Fran is being catapulted headfirst into all it has to offer.
