An amateur rock and roll band travels between performances to earn enough money for food and gasoline in this psychological drama. Using a documentary-style approach, the band plays an engagement in a retirement home for the elderly. As a joke, the group puts a cow owned by one of the residents on their bus, and when the cow dies, they try to intimidate the woman who owns the animal into keeping silent about the theft. The experience sparks greater understanding of human needs among the group. A voiceover at the end of the feature declares that one of the group members died in the Afghanistan conflict and asks the rhetorical question "why ?"
