Written by late screenwriter Will Aldis, the pic is a coming of age story, set during the iconic 90s LA music scene. Micky Adams (Grammer), an eccentric has-been rock musician, loses his grip on reality all while his record label is looking to drop him and his newly created “unique” albums. In hopes of breaking out of the record-label mailroom, a young Charlie Porter (White) is tasked with traveling to the musician’s bizarre home and forcing Micky out of his contract. Micky realizes Charlie could be the key to an artistic breakthrough, and the pair’s unlikely friendship grows.

Winter also produced the drama with Michael Roiff, Milan Popelka, and Steve Samuels. Executive producers are Mohamed AlRafi, Petr Zaluda, Ivan Orlic, and Lauren Mekhael.

Paramount Home Entertainment will also distribute the film internationally.
