A small town teenager discovers punk rock through a loaned mix-tape and it slowly takes over every single part of his life. This new passion causes him to form a band, track down out of print records that he loves and begin to reissue them, open a record store, begin a record distribution operation and befriend all manner of punk luminaries along the way. Slowly, his life's pursuit pushes him to the point of personal ruination and, ultimately, redemption.
