Description
Everyone wants to grow up and experience independence, but few who test their mettle beyond the boundaries of home expect harsh realities that will transform them forever...
In 1966, John Pierce and his friends are discontented teens shackled by life in a West Texas oilfield boomtown. As they swelter in summer heat amid thousands of oil wells, desperation creeps in.
When news of an electrifying rock concert captures their hearts, they leave on a quest for music, girls, and self-indulgence. No one warned them about the nightmarish occurrences they could face on their dream trip.
Based on a true adventure in an out-of-the-ordinary setting, THE CONCERT is an unforgettable exploration of friendships and dangers looming along the stepping stones to adulthood.
