Comedy. Two young Irishmen find themselves hunted by various undesirables, along with the Australian immigration authorities, after entering Australia to escape Ireland following a confrontation with an IRA hardliner back home. When one of them, Fergus, wins a holiday on the Gold Coast after taking part in a TV dating show, and the IRA hardliner turns up in the same area under a witness protection scheme, Fergus decides to take his revenge.
