Summary
Young Irish rocker Neil McCormick always knew he'd be famous. But there's only room for one singer in school band The Hype and his friend Paul has already got the gig. So Neil forms his own band with his brother Ivan. There's only one problem: The Hype have changed their name-- to U2. And Paul has become "Bono." Naturally, there's only one option for Neil: become bigger than U2. In his quest for fame, Neil finds his every move is dwarfed by the soaring success of his school rivals. As his rock 'n roll dream fades, is Neil forever destined to live in the shadows of superstardom? And what if the answer lies in-- killing Bono?
