"The best example of female friendship I’ve ever seen on the big screen." – Moviefone
Former bandmates Vic and Kat (played by two of Canada's top female stars, Tracy Wright and Molly Parker) reunite ten years after their band break-up to perform at a women in rock benefit show. After a wild night of reminiscing, reconnecting and true confessions the pair face the dawn and the true nature of their friendship.
This heartbreakingly genuine rock-and-roll drama (Tracy Wright's final film performance before her tragic death from cancer in 2010) earned double Best Actress nominations for Wright and Parker at Canada's 2011 Genie Awards.

"Molly Parker and the late Tracy Wright are brilliant in Bruce McDonald’s sublime two-hander…" – Maclean’s
"A particularly rewarding showcase for Wright . . . it’s a true rebel spirit that electrifies her conversations with Parker, who is as fun and flirty as she’s ever been here." – IFC News
