Jimmy Collins – competent middle manager by day, suburban rockstar by night – has just been dumped and he’s not taking it very well. Even a visit to his stylist can’t cheer him up. He decides to take control of the situation, convincing his friends to help him find the perfect girl – beautiful (but loyal), smart (but not too smart), confident (without being feminist), an expert bun-maker, who’s indifferent about shopping, enthusiastic about Star Trek and scornful of self-help books.
As lead singer and guitarist with one of Dublin’s best-known pub bands, The Grove, Jimmy decides to kick things off by writing a song for her; the mythical babe who’s got it all – Superchick.
But where should he go looking for her?
How will he know if he finds her?
Who even said that finding her would be the hard part?
And why is there a little Japanese guy following him around with a saxophone?
