Opening in a Hollywood parking lot on New Years Eve as a crowd gathers around an ambulance watching a guy being loaded in on a stretcher. The story is told by one of the characters to a female detective who comes on the scene of what may have been an attempted suicide. He unravels the story of a year in the lives of six guys who hang out in a blues bar in Hollywood, watch sports, trash talk, and bitch about their lives, as they go through problems ranging from construction nightmares to divorce, gambling, addiction, alcoholism, child custody fights, and all the headaches and heartaches men go through in the course of their lives. As the story unfolds, the audience is left wondering which of these guys ended up in the ambulance and why. The blues soundtrack is true to the nature of the music itself, and to the movie, as it's about heartache and longing, loving and losing, striving and failing, and all the hell in between. And just like the blues, the movie is about joy and sadness, humour and sorrow and ultimately about hope and triumphing over adversity.
