Synopsis
This gritty drama stars Michael J. Fox as Joe Rasnick and singer Joan Jett as rock'n'roll sibling Patti, for whom life has been pretty much hard knocks, hard times and hard feelings.

And then there's hard rock - the power, the energy, the redemption that pumps through their veins each time they take to the stage. They dream of better days and happier times and it's the music that keeps the dream alive.

Joe is a loving son, devoted brother and surrogate father to Patti's son, but he struggles to keep his family together until a sudden tragedy changes their lives.

From acclaimed director Paul Schrader (writer of Taxi Driver, Raging Bull), with the title song by Bruce Springsteen.
