In 1960s New Jersey, Doug drops out of college to devote his energies to the rock band he founded in high school, much to the chagrin of his father . When Gene, the band's lead singer, has a mishap that temporarily knocks him out as frontman, Doug takes over. The band's new sound is a hit with the crowd, leading to Gene's ever-increasing resentment. Meanwhile, Wells, another bandmate, struggles with the group's reach for fame.
