An American in Texas plot
An angry, disgruntled group of punk rock youths grows up in Victoria, a small Texas town. Together they start the band 'Surgeon General's Warning'. The band must become a ticket to escape from this petit-bourgeois environment, from this no man's land. It is the time of the First Gulf War in Iraq. The youngsters experiment with theft and drugs. Their young adulthood and the chaos within the group makes them vulnerable to the harsh reality. They want to break through with their group, but the road to Los Angeles is difficult and long. And is that their future or is it unfortunately in the army or in a job in the chemical factory?
