Some people chase the spotlight. Only a few survive it.
1989: Suzanne is a wild child, swept up in her father’s world of muscle cars and rock ‘n’ roll. There’s nowhere she would rather be than out on the road with his band, on the concert tour that might skyrocket them to stardom. After one night of chaos and bloodshed brings their whole world crashing down, young Suzanne will never be the same.
2018: Suzanne trades the guts and glory of her youth for the calm stability of suburbia, but the marriage that was supposed to be her solid ground now feels more like a cage. When her estranged father’s untimely death offers her an escape, Suzanne leaps at the chance – driving back into the past she’s spent decades trying to outrun, even as her present threatens to catch up.
A raucous, breakneck ride to hell and back – where getting lost might be the only way to find yourself and save your soul.
‘[A] feverishly-composed rock ‘n’ roll masterpiece’ — LAYNE FARGO
‘The sleaze of the Stooges, the energy of the Ramones and the glamour of the Cramps – Hot Wax is a pure foot-on-the-monitors, amps-up-to-ten rock ‘n’ roll classic’ — MAT OSMAN
