Taking place in Nashville, Tennessee, dubbed “Music City USA”, the story is depicted through the lens of Exit/In, one of the nation’s most historic independent venues. The club’s owner/operator Chris Cobb, the musicians who perform there, and political allies work together to save the club from imminent corporate takeover.
