In 1966 - pop music's finest era - a bunch of ramshackle DJs play rock & pop 24 hours a day, broadcasting from Radio Rock, a pirate radio station in the North Sea. On board arrives 18 year old Carl, who is instantly plunged into a series of hilarious and life-changing adventures and misadventures. His mother thought the boat would straighten him out - a spectacular mistake! |
