Johnny’s band is about to start their first major tour. The kick-off is in Milwaukee, their hometown. His brother—the bass player—is nowhere to be found. The evening before opening night they play a secret show, mostly friends, family and industry people, and the bass player from their opening act has to fill in. After the show Johnny’s band gives him an ultimatum about his brother: one more fuck-up and he’s out of the band. Just then Johnny gets a call from his brother. He’s been arrested 100 miles away in Chicago. Johnny has to scrounge up the money and transportation to get his brother out of jail and back to Milwaukee in time for the show, which is 17 hours away.
