When former classmates Carla and Pete run into each other, they learn that they're both seeking life beyond Old Country Road. Despite discovering their comically conflicting tastes, they bond over vinyl—the meaning of those songs, the covers of those albums—and making music together. Before their dive-bar cross-country tour, tragedy turns their world upside down, forcing them to decide if the band is just a teenage dream or a gateway to freedom… and maybe each other?

Slanted and Disenchanted is an early-2000’s coming-of-age gem packed with pop culture jabs and rock-nerd heart. Think High Fidelity meets Normal People for the mixtape generation, unraveling sexual tension in friendships, the chaos of adulting, family dysfunction, and the records that get us through it all.
