11 years ago, in Dublin during the 1970s, Neil McCormick (played by Ben Barnes) was a schoolboy with a grand rock dream, firmly believing that one day he would achieve fame. The lead singer of the school band Hype, Paul, invited Neil's younger brother Ivan (played by Robert Sheehan) to join as the guitarist. However, competitive Neil believed that he and his brother could make the band even better, so he rejected Paul's offer for Ivan and formed a band of their own. Subsequently, Paul changed his name to Bono, and Hype was renamed U2, skyrocketing to success. To outdo U2, the McCormick brothers moved to London, seeking a record deal. However, things did not go smoothly, and they faced numerous setbacks. Just when they finally formed the band Shook Up and started to gain traction, Ivan accidentally discovered that if it weren't for Neil, he could have been part of U2... This film is adapted from music critic Neil McCormick's autobiographical novel "I Almost Became Bono."
