A band of best friends, a roadie that wanted to be a rockstar, a documentary ten years in the making.

Australian filmmaker Mat de Koning culled 700-hours of footage of his best friends, to make this no holds barred look into being a rock 'n' roller in the age where the Internet changed the game. From Perth to New York, Melbourne and Los Angeles we are given a back stage pass to the gigs, the tour bus, the toilet and the mattress. There is grit, filth and partying with all the messiness of youth. Gradually the boys grow up, grow apart and start to grow into who they are meant to be. Each of the boys questions if they have got what it takes to be a star and ultimately, what success truly means.
