In the Mancunnian 80s, sharp tongued teenager Sally Shaw battles with a fractured family and a habit of mouthing off that lands her in constant detention. The one place she actually feels in control is behind the school drum kit. There, she keeps noticing Noel Gallagher - a quiet, brooding year-older with a battered guitar and a reputation to match her own. They've never spoken, despite living doors apart... but when a jam session pairs them up, an after-school detention with his cheeky kid brother Liam, and a bus ride home, something unexpected begins to spark. [It's mean to be a slow-burn.]

It's been six years since Alex Turner's band became successful. Six years since he moved to London and six years since he left his best friend, Issy, behind to pursue his dream. For the past six years, she has done everything in her power to ignore him and his band. That is, of course, until he is standing right in front of her, apologising. Story in 26 parts.
