The Incoherents

FEATURE FILM RELEASE

Bruce is a 40-year-old paralegal living in New York who still desires to make it in the rock scene. Coming to the realization that many former rock groups have had reunions, Bruce feels inspired to try to bring his old band, The Incoherents, back together. Not only is he trying to rekindle what he had with his bandmates but he must also save his marriage that is falling apart. As he tries to bring his bandmates back together they also realized that they must face the challenge of competing with the modern artists in the music world.
