Spoilers ahead

As the rain-drenched streets of Washington DC in 1989 began to fade together, the once inseparable bond between George (Rupert Evans), Max (Kenny Doughty), and Ricky (Joseph Kennedy) started to unravel. The group’s musical dreams were slowly suffocated by their personal dysfunction; Ricky’s unreliability, Max’s childish antics, and George’s growing disconnection due to his newfound romance with Lynn (Anna Skellern). To make ends meet, they took on jobs in the cafeteria of a criminally insane asylum, working alongside William (Marcus Garvey) and the patients. George, who held the title of head chef, found pride in creating culinary masterpieces and extending kindness to the inmates, whose calm demeanor was primarily due to their medication. Notably, one inmate in particular, Harry Green (Richard Brake), sent chills down George’s spine.
