When new college grad Ellis McClure and two buddies, Bax and Chloe, run out of money on a fun trip to California, he gets dragged into playing on the street to earn a quick buck. After reaching L.A., all three get caught up in a world of "sex, drugs and rock 'n roll. " Even as music takes him on a wild spin, Ellis holds back.

The question is: will he choose fight or flight?
