Ricky "Hellcat" Heller is a fading Americana rock star, and time and tragedy have taken their toll. Now, three years after leaving everything behind following the death of his teenage son, Ricky returns to Anderson, Indiana. While his aging father welcomes Ricky with open arms, his estranged wife, Susanna, would prefer not to reopen the past wounds. Thinking that the best solution might be to end his life, Ricky is reintroduced to a troubled young man, Tyler, who was once the best friend of Ricky's son. To right his wrongs, Ricky desperately seeks a way to provide stability and support to help fight the demons that plague Tyler.
