Plot Summary

Victoria Sawchyn and Kathryn Lake are friends from childhood who started a neighbourhood band together. Sticking to their rock n‘roll dream, they continued to trade up bands until they began to have real success with a hit single and a European tour. On the tour, the band imploded, due to egos, drugs and rock & roll. Now it’s 10 years later and a local record label is having a benefit concert to honor women in rock; Vic and Kat are expected to attend. They meet for dinner and it is clear that, although there is a desire to make amends, it’s unclear to each of the women who really needs to apologize. As we travel with them on a trip to the concert and a late night after-party, their stories are revealed and the true nature of their friendship is discovered.
