Killing Bono (2011)
Dublin in den späten 70ern. Neil und Paul sind Schulfreunde, träumen beide vom Popstar-Dasein und bewerben sich um denselben Posten als Frontmann einer Band. Paul erhält den Zuschlag, reißt das Ruder an sich, erfindet einen Künstlernamen (Bono) und nennt die Band um (U2). Neil gründet mit seinem Bruder eine eigene Band, spielt schlechte Gigs in miesen Schuppen, und muss erkennen, dass er Paul stets erfolglos hinterher hecheln wird. Irgendwann wird aus Neid Obsession, und Neil kennt nur noch ein Ziel: Killing Bono.
