Doyle, Stanley and Kiely reprise their roles from the first film. Like its predecessor, Steamin' + Dreamin' 2: Cash Back is a mockumentary following the fates of Cork rappers Grandmaster Cash and Dr. Feekinstein, and features appearances from Tony Hadley, The Rubberbandits, and Hardy Bucks among others.

Synopsis

While promoting his debut novel, Grandmaster Cash and the Lazerwolvez, Cash is approached by Cian 'Hollywood' Norris, a Cork native working as an agent in London.
