Claudio dreams of following in his brother's footsteps, and that dream includes bringing none other than U2 to his hometown of Monterrey. Unable to find an investor, Claudio convinces his beautiful girlfriend Gloria to loan him $500,000, which he brings to the casino of mob boss Zamacona to bet on a soccer game. After showing the mobsters the briefcase full of money and placing his bet, he returns the money to Gloria, leaving him with an empty briefcase when the game is over.and his team loses. With Zamacona's gunmen ready to dispatch him, Claudio mumbles, "No more U2". This gets the attention of the mobster's son Tony, who literally worships the band. Tony convinces his father that staging the concert might be the only way to collect the debt. Zamacona decides to give Claudio seven days to book the show-or pay the ultimate price! Claudio, accompanied by Tony, wastes no time in returning to the process of raising money. He first makes an announcement to the press that he intends to stage Monterrey's first U2 concert, and then consults with Moro and Virgilio, his late brother's business partners, who guide him through the labyrinthine world of big-time promotion. As the deadline moves ever closer, Claudio and Tony see their hard work paying off, getting both the publicity and the money they need, while a strong bond of friendship builds between them. But nothing worthwhile ever comes easy, and they soon find themselves up against Pepe Cobo, Monterrey's most successful-and ruthless-promoter, who is competing for U2, as well as a rival mob that's gunning for Tony. The odds are against them, but all they can do is follow their dream and hope for a miracle. --© Official Site [More]
