Amidst power cuts, strikes and boot-boy aggro on the football terraces, Joe McCain (Martin Compston), is bored of a life that’s going nowhere.
Enter hair-dresser Jane (Nichola Burley). Blonde, brassy, and moving to the beat of a whole new world of sound, movement and all-nighter dancing at The Wigan Casino – the home of Northern Soul.
Mandy (Felicity Jones), a cute and spunky artist, is eager to help Joe become the cool 'soul boy' he wants to be.
Mandy falls for Joe and a love triangle develops with Jane and Mandy, and Joe has to decide who he really wants in his life.
