This is a story about the rivalry between the two great northern cities of Liverpool and Manchester and, the fact that they have so much in common yet& it is often football rivalry that separates them. Set in a Police Station during the Europa League tie at Old Trafford in 2016, two young lads, Terry, a Utd fan, and Liam, a Liverpool fan, are stopped on their way to the game and taken into custody for non-payment of fines. With the game about to start, desk sergeant Frank (50s), places them into the same cell to save time and energy. Once the game gets underway a story of inter-city rivalry unfolds. We see the two open-up about family life and their own personalities. In a tiny cell with fan rivalry erupting every 5 minutes, Frank wants the pair gone so he can deal with an urgent family matter. Seeing a way past a football-fuelled mindset and wanting their fines paid to catch the second-half the lads soon find they have a lot more in common than they ever imagined.
