A rock band has to record their third LP, the one that will make them either rise to stardom or fall into oblivion. Their idea, despite the reluctance of the executives, is for the recording to take place in NY. But everything gets complicated, and the creative process becomes hell. Desertions of band members, sentimental breakups, rehearsals where drugs and alcohol run rampant, and the unbearable pressure of the record company are generating endless fights and arguments only alternated by small moments of happiness. Meanwhile, without knowing it, they will be composing an album that will mark a whole generation.
