À propos de ce film

Aging Rock artist DAVID TANGIER’S sense of identity is all but destroyed as he works cutting hair to provide a comfortable life for himself and his wife, when all he ever wanted to do was become a famous musician. His sound and age bind him to the Rock of the 2000's, where his band Katatonic Spin was once popular on the scene. His wife Cecily’s faith in him is dwindling as she realizes that he cannot compete for much longer in this young man’s game, and David can't tolerate that his entire existence has fallen prey to the persona of “the has been.” By taking one last shot at maintaining his integrity, David sets out to organize a follow-up album. When a mysterious and young musical talent, JAVY BATES shows up for a job at David’s salon, he thinks he has found a solution to his alienation. Against the symbolic backdrop of a dark Victorian home, David's wife attempts to convince Javy to team up with her husband on this Rock n' Roll road to redemption. Initially guarded, Javy soon opens up... as he has an agenda of his own.
