It's 1988 and Fergus (Jimeoin) and Wesley flee Belfast for Sydney to escape the vengeance of local criminal, Colin. Like other adventurous backpackers before them, they wind up at Bondi Beach and spend their days doing constructive things - like drinking Guinness. When they outstay their visas, Fergus and Wesley find themselves on the run from Immigration officials. In between drinking, backpacking, picking up girls and more drinking, they're climbing out of sky scrapers and running around half-naked to escape the authorities. But that's the least of their worries. Irish thug, Colin, is on their trail: he's framed them as terrorists and brought the SAS along for support. Now with everyone who is anyone after them, these guys are going to need the luck of the Irish to get out of this alive.
