Green Room

In the rain‑slick shadows of the Pacific Northwest, a gritty, low‑light bar stands at the edge of an isolated Oregon town, its walls echoing with the whispers of a hidden, extremist subculture. The venue caters to a white‑supremacist crowd, its atmosphere thick with tension and an undercurrent of menace that seems to pulse in time with the pounding drums of a punk show. The film opens with a raw, kinetic energy that feels both intimate and claustrophobic, setting the stage for a night that promises music, rebellion, and an unsettling sense of being watched.

Pat is the band’s introspective frontman, wrestling with the pressure of leading a group that lives for its message as much as its sound. Sam, his partner in both life and performance, brings sharp wit and fierce loyalty, balancing Pat’s doubts with a pragmatic edge. Reece, the stoic drummer, carries a quiet intensity that surfaces in fleeting glances, while Tiger, the charismatic guitarist, injects reckless boldness into every riff. Together they form The Ain’t Rights, a four‑piece punk outfit whose chemistry is forged on the road, their camaraderie a blend of shared dreams, banter, and the unspoken pact to look out for one another when the world turns hostile.

When the band steps onto the cramped stage, the venue’s volatile owner and his entourage make their presence felt, casting a looming shadow over the performance. The crowd’s aggressive energy clashes with the band’s defiant lyrics, creating a volatile mix that hints at danger beyond the music. The setting feels like a pressure cooker—tight spaces, flickering neon, and the ever‑present hum of unrest—painting a world where every chord struck could be the spark for something far more perilous.

As the night deepens, the group finds themselves caught in a tightening grip of hostile forces, forced to rely on quick thinking, raw courage, and the fierce loyalty that has always bound them. The tone remains razor‑sharp and unflinching, a relentless blend of suspense and survival that propels the narrative toward a brutal fight for escape, leaving the audience perched on the edge of a night that refuses to let its characters—or its viewers—breathe easily.
