Alex (O'Nan) and Jim (Michael Weston), aka The Brooklyn Brothers, head out for the West Coast from their home city of New York in the hope of bringing their music to a wider audience. As they travel across the country, they play a series of gigs at random music venues in the build-up to a 'Battle of the Bands' event. Along the way they meet self-styled music revolutionary Cassidy (Arielle Kebbel), who becomes their road manager.
