Show plot summary (may contain spoilers)
In once thriving but now decaying Newcastle upon Tyne, Finney, initially advised not to, has owned and operated a jazz club for ten years, against the odds making it a success and in the process him wealthy. Earnest Irishman Brendan, needing work, responds to the ad placed for a cleaning job at the club, and going against his initial impression, Finney, in what he learns is their shared knowledge and love of jazz, hires Brendan, not only as a cleaner, but to run odd errands, one of the first in the latter category being for Brendan to pick up The Krakow Jazz Ensemble from the airport and get them settled in their hotel, they who will be performing at the club. This job hire occurs concurrently with American Week in the city, a high profile event organized jointly by Cosmo, a Texas businessman, in town looking for investment opportunities, such influx of capital much needed for the city's revitalization. In combination with a new relationship with an American waitress named Kate, who in reality is more than just a waitress unknown to him, Brendan will find that he has walked into a dangerous situation when he gets wind of a potentially deadly incident, with Cosmo's want to invest more than just to make money.
