This is the chronicle of an indie band in Los Angeles in the early 1990s as they meet, rehearse, make their first recordings and get their first big gig. It's also the story of a love affair between John and Jenny, the band's charming but troubled guitarists/singers. Along the way, they and their bandmates make all manner of discoveries about themselves and the Hollywood milieu in which they're struggling to succeed: a world of narcissistic actors, wannabe screenwriters, pretentious musicians, weirdo fans, crazy neighbours and an emu called Heidi.
