A hot-headed thrash metal bassist struggles with his abusive family history as it affects his future with his house songstress fiancé.

World-renowned Ramiro Espinoza, the bassist/vocalist of the heavy metal band IRATE, seemed to have it all on stage. But backstage, Ramiro's life was far from perfect. He was raised in a household where his father constantly threw Bible verses in his face. On top of that, he, his mother, and his sister endured lots of physical and emotional abuse.

Music was an outlet for Ramiro, where he learned to play the bass guitar and later found his singing voice. He sung lyrics about his bad relationship with his father and other issues in the world that vexed along with fast, aggressive tunes. Ramiro and two other bandmates formed a trio that captivated listeners in the millions. His girlfriend Noelle, an African-American house/techno songstress gave up her career performing in small venues in New York to tour with Ramiro around the world.

During the band's tour, he constantly put her style of music down, belittled her in front of everyone, and even got physical. Without hesitation, she left Ramiro right in the middle of his tour. Ramiro knew he was in the wrong and couldn't fight his demons alone. His manager arranged for a counselor to tour with this metal god and held sessions between shows. Ramiro needed to make things right, so that Noelle would walk down the aisle. But the man who made Ramiro's life a living hell resurfaced to annihilate whatever happiness he had. Now, Ramiro must confront the demon who is his father in human form.
