Three young friends steal some music equipment for their struggling post-punk band and, in a panic, kill the shop’s owner. The film examines, with characteristic restraint and acuity, the psychological fallout as the band unravels—and each of its members grapple with their own feelings of guilt, paranoia, and despair.
