Tom Spicer has Fragile X Syndrome, a form of autism, and has a dream to meet his hero which his siblings promise to make happen, with hopes of good times and bonding on the road trip across America. But Tom’s disabilities, a dysfunctional family, and heavy metal’s labyrinthine backstage world thwart the mission at every turn.

Documentary following siblings Kate and William Spicer, as they attempt to arrange a meeting for their autistic brother Tom with his idol, the Metallica drummer Lars Ulrich. Born with Fragile X Syndrome, the commonest cause of inherited learning disability, Tom lives in a care home in Devon. A heavy metal fan for most of his life, his biggest wish of meeting his idol is taken up by his siblings, journalist Kate and film-maker William, who decide to travel with Tom to America in order to fulfil his dream. Filmed by William, the documentary charts their road-trip across America in a mobile home, as they try to gain access to one of heavy metal's biggest stars.
