For over 20 years, Jimmy Testagross (Ron Eldard)
has lived his childhood dream: being a roadie for his childhood heroes, Blue Oyster Cult. But the band's Arena-Rock glory days
are a distant memory. County fairs and club gigs pay the bills. And Jimmy has become a casualty of these leaner times. With no
place to go, no job prospects, and no real skills outside of being a roadie, Jimmy needs to regroup. So he returns to his
childhood home in Queens, Ny. There, he revisits old relationships: his ailing, widower mom, a high school crush, a former
nemesis and, most importantly, his relationship with himself. Jimmy, the middle-aged man-child, has never grown up. He still
carries the resentments and frustrations of his youth, and has allowed them to fester and define who and what he is. Confronted
with his mother's illness, Jimmy has a choice: let go of the past and take responsibility for both himself and the woman who
raised and now needs him. Or continue to live a life of lies and frustration.
