Plot
After experiencing the death of his father and the institutionalization of his mother, teenager Brodie is forced to live with his Uncle Albert in Greypoint. However, Brodie's love for metal music clashes with Uncle Albert's strict Christian beliefs. To make matters worse, he faces constant bullying at school, particularly from his cousin David. Brodie's only solace comes from his geeky friends Dion and Giles.
Everything changes when Brodie meets another metal enthusiast named Zakk, and the two form a band called Deathgasm. They are later joined by Dion and Giles, and together they embark on a musical journey. One day, Zakk convinces Brodie to explore an abandoned house in search of a legendary metal musician named Rikki Daggers. They stumble upon Daggers, who hands them a mysterious album before being killed by a man named Vadin.
