CHAOS
By Stuart Newman

GENRE: Music, Drama

LOGLINE:

An estranged Rock & Roll band revisit the long buried past.

SYNOPSIS:

A decade long, all encompassing musical rite of passage shattered into a carnage of addiction, betrayal and death. Road warrior brothers who’d shared it all, left everything behind - as they became perfect strangers. Chaos is the story of Ian ‘Dosser’ Dawkins journey to musical rebirth. Now in his 40’s, Dosser is ten years into recovery for alcoholism, back in a day job and still grieving for his Brother, Tony (the victim of an on-tour suicide). When his defunct band, The Nuclear Aces are offered a series of lucrative festival shows, it could be the answer to Dosser’s financial woes. But can he risk his sobriety by returning to a world of egos and snide? And that’s just his band mates. Caught between Rock and a hard place. Chaos is for Musicians what Californication was for Authors and Sons of Anarchy was for Bike Gangs. Part Joy Division biopic, Control, part Motley Crue’s The Dirt, it’s a warts n’ all look behind the workings of a Rock & Roll band - but with substance, not just substances.
