Newport Beach Film Festival 2009

A pair of longtime friends channel their talent and passion for music into a cross-country road trip that brings them face to face with their past, present, and future. A world famous musician, whose debut album is a huge hit, retreats to his hometown after his sophomore effort flops. There he reconnects with his long lost best friend and fellow musician, the son of a punk rock guitar legend, who became a middle school music teacher. The reunion forces the two, to recall their youthful ambitions and reexamine the choices they've made. Accompanied by a raucous crew of musicians, they set off on a cathartic journey along historic Route 66 that brings them closer to each other, their history and their destiny.
