When Velvet gets a phone call from her estranged brother, Jake, to say he's got their imaginary band a gig, she's immediately transported back to the rocky and peripatetic childhood they shared. Jake, who has complex learning and behavioural difficulties, longs to reconnect with the little sister he adores and swap the boredom of life in his 'upmarket' care home for the thrill of life on the road. With the help of a tough-talking carer called "Roadie" and Velvet's hunky boss, they're about to go on the tour of a lifetime.
