Roger, a Rasputin-like drifter, is in search of the ultimate indie-rock band, The Transcendents: A band that was on the brink of greatness before disappearing from the world. What he finds is less than transcendent: a band that has all but abandoned society, a host of unpleasant memories, and more questions than answers in his search. Set in the Wonderland of America's Do-it-Yourself music scene and populated by many great musicians he must decide what is more important, fame and adulation or staying true to you.
