Read Synopsis

Based on a true story.
THEY DEFINED CULT STATUS – AND WERE GONE IN THE BLINK OF AN EYE.

Fremont, NH, the late 60s. A working class dad has a vision of rock n’ roll destiny for his three talentless daughters, convinced they’re his family’s one-way ticket out of hardship and obscurity. But the girls have ideas of their own – and as their father’s ambition turns to obsession, the price of familial obligation becomes all too clear.
