Aspiring rocker Wendy (Carrie Hamilton) hops on a plane to Tokyo with dreams of making it big. She forms a romantic and musical connection with Hiro (Diamond Yukai), whose band is looking for a lead singer and their big break. This underseen '80s indie gem by Fran Rubel Kuzui ("Buffy the Vampire Slayer") offers a breezy tour through bubble era Tokyo with knowing nods to its vibrant pop culture.
