Rock'n'Roll
star JON BORDERS (A Martinez) has it all: a loving wife, EVIE
(Rosalind Allen), a devoted teenage daughter SAMANTHA, and a wiseass
son, DYLAN. He relies on Evie for support and she responds by trying
to be everywhere and do everything for him. Borders' comfortable
world is turned upside down when Evie, rushing from her daughter's
concert to a TV appearance by Jon, is killed in a car accident.
Faced with actually having to raise his children, and deal with
their emotional trauma, Borders rereats into work and then rapidly
descends into drink and drug use.
Monica, who is Jon's driver, watches
as his attempts to record a new son, "Nowhere", disappear down the
bottle and up his nose. Tess is the kids' nanny; Samantha slips
around her to go out with friends to a concert. But en route they
stop at a motel to party. Samantha didn't plan on this and runs out.
She pages her Dad, but he's too stoned to pick up her page.
Eventually Sam hitches a ride with a trucker. When the driver points
out they're right at the spot where Evie died, Sam insists on
getting out and staying there alone. she looks down the ravine where
her mother died--then slips and falls into it herself. At the
bottom, Sam finds her mother 's purse, with a notation of a song
Evie was writing for Jon. Andrew, the Angel-of-Death, sppears, but
then Tess appears also to comfort Samantha.
Back in the recording studio, Monica
reveals herself to Jon, pointing out to him that the word NOWHERE
may also be read as NOW HERE. She leads him to his daughter, and the
show ends with Jon and Samantha on TV, singing the song that Evie
wrote.
