| Roadie: For over 20 years, Jimmy Testagross has lived his childhood dream: being a roadie
for his childhood heroes, Blue Oyster Cult. But the band's Arena-Rock glory days
are a distant memory. County fairs and club gigs pay the bills. And Jimmy has become a
casualty of these leaner times. With no place to go, no job prospects, and no real skills
outside of being a roadie, Jimmy needs to regroup. So he returns to his childhood home in
Queens, Ny. There, he revisits old relationships: his ailing, widower mom, a high school
crush, a former nemesis and, most importantly, his relationship with himself. Jimmy, the
middle-aged man-child, has never grown up. He still carries the resentments and
frustrations of his youth, and has allowed them to fester and define who and what he is.
Confronted with his mother's illness, Jimmy has a choice: let go of the past and
take responsibility for both himself and the woman who raised and now needs him. Or
continue to live a life of lies and frustration. |
