General Admission is a gritty, multi-perspective 1970s rock-and-crime story set against the smoke-filled, dangerous, and electric world of live arena concerts.
Set in 1975, the story opens in Grand Rapids, Michigan, where six teenage fans pile into a faded 1970 Chevy Impala and head downtown for a general-admission concert by a rising, unnamed rock band.
The band is trapped inside a machine that sells rebellion while feeding off everyone around it: the fans, the crew, the musicians, the women backstage, the local promoters, and even the cities themselves. As the tour moves from one venue to the next, the story shifts between multiple points of view - teenage fans, exhausted performers, cynical handlers, desperate criminals, and workers who understand that the show must go on no matter who gets hurt.
Part homage to the lost era of 1970s live music and part crime saga, General Admission explores what happens when youthful freedom, corporate exploitation, organized crime, and rock-and-roll mythology collide. The concert is the promise. The crowd is the cover. And backstage, the real performance is already underway.
