Laney Kilburn is a 22-year old girl from Maryland who believes she can save rock n' roll. She moves to Pittsburgh, PA and assembles a kick-ass rock band out of a group of damaged goods, all with their own personal agendas.
Bassist Ian Hurst, the elder statesman, sees the band as his last shot at greatness.
Drummer Steve Wilkinson, sloppy and greedy, a man of many vices.
Lead Singer Greg Burdette, with Rock God genetics, and a diva attitude.
Keyboardists Martin Hudson, a Baptist hooked on God, Little Richard and John Legend.
Lead guitarist Paul Varlotta, a shredder par excellence, but only when he suppresses constant self-doubts.
Manager Mitch Slater, survivor of a deadly illness, re-examines his life and follows his passion for music.
When The Demands unknowingly interfere with Russian Mobster Petrovs' elaborate plans, things get ugly. They forge through the obstacles of in-fighting, audience indifference, lineup changes, drugs, family problems, back-stabbing and political intrigue. All the while promoting themselves as the second coming of rock n' roll.
