Very much a family affair, the show sees Domhnall (General Hux in the Star Wars sequels) , play Frank's loyal best friend, Doofus, whose full-time job appears to be clearing up the mess left in his pal’s wake.
The series kicks off with Frank receiving the devastating news that his ex-girlfriend Áine (Sarah Greene) has found a new boyfriend who just happens to be both a doctor and a mixed martial arts expert.
Unable to accept that she could get over him so soon (they only broke up six years ago), Frank endeavours to get a gig at Áine’s grandmother’s funeral, hoping to win her back with his sensitive singer songwriter skills.
