What to expect
Determined not to cede one inch of British territory, the UK government despatches low-level Foreign Office researcher, John Cabot, to put a stop to Sullivan's ambitions.
What they didn't anticipate was Cabot's tenacity for unearthing information they'd rather he didn't, or Sullivan's relentless, but completely unfounded, optimism in his own ideas.
Armed with nothing more than a guitar and a spreadsheet, can these two stand up to the might of the British Empire?
No contest.
