In this film, lifelong companions confront the temptations and challenges of the rock and roll lifestyle—such as desire, substance abuse, and intense emotions—during a cross-country journey that forces them to reflect on their past, present, and future. Spyder, a musician whose first album was a massive success, experienced a flop with his second release, prompting him to retreat to his small hometown and abandon his career. Seven years later, at 27, Spyder reconnects with Eric, his long-lost best friend and the writer of his debut album. Eric, the son of a legendary punk rock guitarist, has settled into a quiet life as a middle school music teacher in the suburbs. Their reunion compels both to revisit their youthful dreams and reassess the decisions they’ve made along the way.
