Al Capone Andrews has a story to tell about four bored university students who come together one wet day to form a band, to be known as 'The Sublimated Urge'. The band struggles through the minefields of drug and alcohol abuse, carnal knowledge charges, brawls, bloodshed and even murder, before they realise the exquisite chemistry that exists between them for writing songs and performing them on stage. These four young men discover that writing poetry can be a catharsis for alleviating the pain and suffering they have all been through. From humble beginnings, the band eventually achieves stardom, but the costs along the way are destructive and irretrievable.
