Is it possible to share your life with someone who has a record collection incompatible with yours? Perhaps, if you constantly listen to songs that speak of breakups and romantic disappointments, unhappiness and loneliness, your life becomes upside down? For Rob Fleming, 35 years old, addicted to pop and owner of a record store that is in danger of going bankrupt, these questions require urgent answers.

The woman he loved left him: if she comes back to him, will he love her as much as he does now that he misses her and feels rejected? Will he continue to live in this little house full of vinyl records and CDs, or does he finally need to grow up, live in a normal house, start a family, and find a more respectable job? Will he ever learn what it's like to make love to a singer who has released a record?

The hardest thing for Rob is to stop evaluating the situations of his life strictly in terms of top 5, without any compromise: bands, books, movies, songs - everything goes into lists and is ranked. Even Rob's breakups make up a top 5, like the best pop songs of all time, like the best songs that speak of death.
