About the film.
Carol, an emotionally bottled up woman, discovers the pitfalls of honest self-expression when she begins writing and singing songs she wrote about people she knows. Her songs immediately alienate her friends and co-workers with one notable exception: her boss Dave, to whom she dedicates the song Asshole Dave. Inspired by the song, Dave fires Carol with a nifty severance so she can pursue her music. Dave, in turn, quits his job, and picks up a guitar in an attempt to revive his long-abandoned dream of becoming a rock star. But Dave’s resolve is challenged when he finds himself in a hotel room in California without his medication. The two misfits soon find themselves working with a strange record producer, Silent G (nee Doug), whose work inspires Carol to confront her biggest emotional obstacle: her mother. Unable to find satisfaction, Carol pours her entire severance package into producing a full album that she shares with her “friends” at a special LP release party.
