Manchester 1976: Cambridge educated Tony Wilson (Steve Coogan) is at a Sex Pistols gig. Totally inspired by this pivotal moment in music history, he and his friends set up a record label, Factory Records, signing first Joy Division then the Happy Mondays, who become seminal artists of their time. What ensues is a tale of music, sex, drugs and the birth of one of the most famous dance clubs in the world, The Haçienda - a mecca for clubbers as famous as the likes of Studio 54.
