A victim of his own anger, the Kid is a Minneapolis musician on the rise with his band, the Revolution, escaping a tumultuous home life through music. While trying to avoid making the same mistakes as his truculent father, the Kid navigates the club scene and a rocky relationship with a captivating singer, Apollonia. But another musician, Morris, looks to steal the Kid's spotlight -- and his girl.
A volatile musician battles his father's shadow while trying to keep his band and his heart from fracturing. Between the neon-soaked Minneapolis clubs and the electric stage performances, the raw energy of the music fills every crack in his crumbling life.
