Set in the adrenaline-fueled era of Detroit’s 1999 garage-rock scene, the film follows Jesse, a struggling young musician juggling aspirations for rock stardom with the demands of caring for his chronically ill father, Thomas. When Jesse’s band unexpectedly scores an invitation to perform at the coveted South by Southwest (SXSW) festival — just as Detroit nemesis, band Bull Roar, also gets their shot — they take Thomas and their eclectic bandmates on a chaotic road trip to Austin, Texas. Rivalries flare, and a series of comedic and poignant encounters reveal deep-seated family dynamics and dreams deferred.
