Almost immediately upon arrival, she is robbed, leaving her desperate and stranded in a city of broken dreams.Enter Drew Boley, an aspiring musician and wide-eyed busboy working at the legendary Bourbon Room, a crumbling rock sanctuary managed by the eccentric and perpetually intoxicated Dennis Dupree and his loyal, no-nonsense right-hand man, Lonny.
