- Synopsis
- British rock band Stack of Corpses badly needs a hit and will do anything to get one. While band members BASS and DRUMS hatch a plan to steal a dead rock star’s song from under his widow’s nose, lead singer BRIAN and band manager LARRY turn to a Russian gangster to manipulate the charts.
  
  Caught in this chaos is new female band member KEYS, a classical pianist who has literally fought the competition to join the band, before realising just how lazy and feckless her bandmates are.
  
  Through a series of violent acts, interspersed with advice from rock legend RICHARD O’KEEFE, the band go from nobodies to superstars.
  
  But how far are they willing to go to keep their secrets from coming out?
