Synopsis

Canned from a 20 year job as roadie for Blue Oyster Cult, Jimmy (Ron Eldard) is broke and desperate. With nowhere else to go, he returns home to Forest Hills, Queens to visit his aging mother (Lois Smith), where a wild night with some hard-partying high school friends shows him that some things never change.

From director Michael Cuesta (L.I.E., TWELVE AND HOLDING) ROADIE features powerful performances from Ron Eldard, Bobby Cannavale, Jill Hennessy and a refreshingly eclectic 70’s hard rock soundtrack.
