Roadie

In the dusty heat of a Texas town, Travis W. Redfish splits his time between delivering Shiner beer and helping his father run a salvage shop. A quick‑witted, good‑humored bar‑fly with a natural knack for wiring amps and lighting rigs, he is the sort of down‑to‑earth technician who can make a broken speaker sing with a twist of a screwdriver. The family motto—“Everything will work if you let it”—captures his optimistic approach, and his best friend and business partner, B.B. Muldoon, shares both the grind and the dream of something louder than the local jukebox.

When a stalled RV on the highway turns into an invitation to the world of touring rock‑and‑roll, Lola Bouilliabase appears—a fierce fan of theatrical metal who drags Travis into a crew that lives on the road’s edge. Their road manager, Ace, runs the operation with a tight‑fisted grip, while the enigmatic promoter Mohammed Johnson spots Travis’s lightning‑fast fixes and sees the potential for bigger, brighter gigs. The atmosphere hums with the roar of amp stacks, neon stage lights, and the restless energy of a traveling show that never quite sleeps, setting a tone that blends slap‑dash humor with the raw pulse of live music.

Against this backdrop, Travis must balance the pull of his Texas roots—embodied by his father, Corpus C. Redfish, and the familiar rhythm of small‑town life—with the intoxicating chaos of a life lived in tour buses and backstage corridors. Friendships tighten, rivalries sparkle, and a budding romance with Lola hints at deeper connections beyond the wiring diagrams. The film promises a high‑octane, love‑infused journey through the unsung world of roadies, where every gig is a chance to prove that a good‑ol’ boy can keep the music moving, no matter how wild the road gets.
