SYNOPSIS
Based on the semi-autobiographical experiences of local Omagh musician Mark McCausland, The Spin follows two unlikely friends who are down on their luck in all aspects of their lives and are about to be evicted from their small record store, Boneyard Records. They get wind of a sale of some records that, unbeknown to the seller, are worth a small fortune and take an epic road trip down south to obtain the holy grail of vinyl records and secure a bargain that might save their music store and change their fortunes.
