Matt, a young glaciologist, soars across the vast, silent, icebound immensities of the South Pole as he recalls his love affair with Lisa. They meet at a mobbed rock concert in a vast music hall - London's Brixton Academy. They are in bed at night's end. Together, over a period of several months, they pursue a mutual sexual passion whose inevitable stages unfold in counterpoint to nine live-concert songs.
Novinar Sidney Young (Simon Pegg) pracuje v Londyne pre nieprilis uspesny bulvarny platok, ktory si striela z celebrit tuziacich po slave vo svetle snobskych vecierkov. Na jednej strane je hrdy na svoj satiricky nadhlad a odstup od prostredia, o ktorom pise, na strane druhej ho vsak povrchny svet slavy a krasnych ludi laka. Sidney dostava prekvapivu pracovnu ponuku od sefredaktora prestizneho newyorskeho casopisu Sharps a pohlave sa vrha do viru newyorskych vecierkov. Rychlo vsak zisti, ze zdaleka nie vsetko je take, ako si predstavoval. Je sklamany upatou atmosferou a stava sa z neho rebel. Neochotu zaradit sa do davu a sekat dobrotu vsak necakane narusi stretnutie s povabnou hereckou Sophiou, ktora mu uplne popletie hlavu… Nametom pre film bola kniha Tobyho Younga z roku 2001, v ktorej zachytil vlastne zazitky, ked koncom 90. rokov odisiel z Londyna pracovat do prestizneho casopisu Vanity Fair v New Yorku a ani nie po dvoch rokoch bol odtial vyhodeny.
