Show Description

Making great songs is not always pretty. A great song reaches inside of you, giving voice to things you didn’t know how to say. How far would you go to create music like that? Would you risk death? Would you do the ridiculous, or embarrassing?

Sandy will do anything: move in with Mira, the manipulative ex-girlfriend of two dead rock gods, obey Mira’s every whim to hear the tapes if the rock-stars’ legendary last sessions, even collaborate with Nick, a sketchy ex-bassist and unemployed bartender.
