About the Story
It's the 1990's and Charley, a broody working-class guy and reluctant frontman of an up-and-coming indie rock band, discovers a note that brings him on the verge of finding the father who abandoned him. Unaware of the burgeoning digital revolution that will change the music industry forever, the band gets its first big break. Facing loss in times of great change, courage and confidence are elusive, opportunities for independent artists are fleeting. Should he move on or wait for his time to come around? Bringing back wack slacks and fuzz, this is a generation-gone-by story about a fatherless son, the brotherhood of a band and what it means to let go.
