Twenty-something Matt Gibson had dreams of making it big in the music world with his brother Alex and then-girlfriend, Ivy. They head to L.A. to try their luck. However, things don't always turn out the way you plan and, while Ivy's music career flourishes, he soon finds himself back in New Zealand with his brother and another friend playing gigs as a covers band, 'The Silhouettes'.
A journey through a cultural minefield, navigating the divide between the traditional values of immigrant parents and the contemporary aspirations of their children in a new land.
