Alex Walker just wants to find peace. Growing up in a dysfunctional blue-collar family, he learns to navigate life, carrying heavy emotional baggage from years of abuse and neglect.

Trouble follows Alex through the hills of suburban Philadelphia to a rural trade school, where he befriends a 1990s tribute band who try to teach Alex to relax a little and have some fun. While traveling with the band, Alex writes them a hit song, but before it plays on the radio, he gets into an argument with the lead singer who throws Alex out. After finding himself at another crossroad in life, what will Alex do next?
