In the
parking lot of a club in a Rust Belt town, a group of acolytes meets to renew
their faith in rock and roll, and its patron saint, Patti Roxx. Seven hardcore
fans have traveled long and hard to be at the show. Their love of her music is
the best thing in most of their lives. Before the doors open, the fans will test
the levels of their hierarchy, fight and bond, threaten and back off. At the
end, who will walk away, and why?
