The story of a group of aging rocker friends and wanna-bes in Los Angeles. Gwen is a ruthless aspiring star, who will do anything it takes to get to the top.

Clive, one band member, has just discovered a child whose mother claims him as Clive's love child, while his wife is an actress freaking out at being offered a part as Christina Ricci's mother.
