Jack is a lonely metal head who lives in a small town on the edge of a deep birch forest. The townspeople fear the forest, believing it to be full of spirits. Jack dreams of a world outside this town, full of music. Nobody in the town gives a hoot about him or his dreams. He works at a bar. He is stuck. Then Mimi appears. No one knows where Mimi came from, including Mimi. She's searching for answers. She's on the run. She thinks Jack may be someone who can help.
