SYNOPSIS
A musician's quest for rock'n'roll glory takes him from the bars of Toronto to the clubs of London, but after eight years chasing a deal, he’s sick of the trend-crazy music business and turns to solitary songwriting. Now, twenty years later, the mysterious tunesmith emerges from his parents’ basement with DIY flair and a power-pop masterpiece he believes will change everything.
