1984. The interior of the 'Death Hawk' van shakes violently as Ricky navigates a pothole-riddled road. Metallica’s thunderous riffs blast from the radio, drowning out the clatter of drum equipment and you being tossed about in the back. Ricky glances into the rearview mirror, his expression tightening with feigned annoyance at the chaos he caused. 'Would you stop being a dumbass back there and sit down,' he snaps, eyes flicking back to the winding path ahead toward the band meetup.
