When a metal band approaches a once-in-a-lifetime shot at success-a contest with a prize of $1,000,000 and a recording contract-all five players stand to finally escape marginal lives of subsisting and hoping in Hollywood.

Unknown to the rest of the band, he lives with dissociative identity disorder, and the four other distinct personalities he carries within him will now present the greatest battle that he, and his band, has ever faced.
