Story
Three handicapped losers who form a band ask famous writer Dries to be their drummer. He joins the band and starts manipulating them.
Summary
Dries, a renowned writer but drumming novice, joins a band comprised of three disabled musicians with aspirations of rock stardom. Initially welcomed for his fame and charm, Dries manipulates the group to feed his ego and desire for control, exploiting their vulnerabilities. As personal conflicts escalate and the band's unity frays, they remain blind to Dries' machinations until it's nearly too late. Meanwhile, the group struggles against societal expectations and drug temptations, determined to defy their 'loser' label in the name of rock & roll. The stage seems set for a punk rock tragedy as Dries orchestrates a descent into chaos, threatening to consume them all.
