About this title

Synopsis

It’s Los Angeles, 1986, and metal rules the world. For aspiring drummer Rikki Thunder, life is good - even if he is sleeping in a condemned paint store and playing with a band that’s going nowhere.

But when he gets a shot to join L.A.’s hottest up-and-coming band, Whyte Python, Rikki’s young life turns up to 11. Soon he has a hit single scorching up the charts, and the new love of his life in the audience. Rikki couldn’t ask for anything more.

But good fortune can be deceiving. With the Cold War breathing its last gasps and American music blasting through the Iron Curtain, a youth revolution is taking hold - and a hair band is unknowingly playing host to the final battle for the hearts and minds of the Eastern Bloc.

Rikki Thunder soon realizes there is a deeper web of influence propelling Whyte Python, and the stakes for his mission - to spread peace, love, and epic shredding across the globe - are far more dangerous than he could ever imagine.
