Imagine you're Irish, but apparently, to some people, you don't look it. You spend a good part of your day letting people know you can understand what they're saying, no they don't have to talk slower, and no you don't find it cold here. Welcome to the world of Sol De Silva (Christopher Simpson).

Sol has explored Dublin's underbelly by moving from job to dodgy job (and relationship to dodgy relationship), and despite his father's high hopes has embarked on what is considered a rather unstable career for rather unstable people - Hi diddle-dee-dee, an actor's life for he.

After a run-in with his best friend Dave (Keith Duffy) - a loveable waster, who's forever getting Sol into trouble and helping him mess up his life - Sol is forced to move in with a complete stranger, Leanne (Laura Donnelly). By day a legal secretary with a hangover, by night she likes to party hard and make the next hangover worthwhile. But when Dave takes up residence on their sofa things will never be the same...
