Everything in high school feels like the world is ending. And Sadie Mitchell's crippling fear of the coming apocalypse is a heightened version of that. Undeterred by non-believers, Sadie has created a check-list of things to master before the predicted doomsday, and she has just two weeks to complete it. Sadie needs to master survivalist cuisine, learn to sew, and a few more... personal things; go to a high school party, kiss a boy, and most importantly, get her best friend back.

Best friends Conor and Jock dress the same, act the same, and go pretty much everywhere together. When news breaks that 61 bales of cocaine worth seven million euros each has gone missing off Ireland's west coast, the boys steal a pair of bicycles — Jock is already an inveterate bike thief who has attracted the keen attention of a local police sergeant — and pedal across the Irish countryside hoping to find the contraband treasure and sell it to finance their escape from difficult circumstances. With the Garda in close pursuit, mayhem and misadventure inevitably ensue. Delightful and absurdly funny, the film is a portrait of the friendship between two sensitive young desperados with noble intentions.
