Synopsis

The Limelight is a dilapidated nightclub in its final hours – about to close its doors for the last time. It is dark, crumbling and cheap. In one last attempt to revitalise its fortunes, the owners decide to host an under eighteens battle of the bands. While this event is the club’s final hope, for the competitors it is the closest they may ever get to fame – their X Factor moment.

The Battle of the Bands turns into an empty event; the winner gets a dubious contract with a local low life, low-time producer. And, apart from local support, no one knows nor cares…
