Overview
Macabee Cohn (David Brisbin) is a former rock musician whose glory days are behind him. Driving a battered Volkswagen bus, he spends his days servicing jukeboxes across the city while watching his beloved Lower East Side rapidly transform. As soaring real estate speculation, rent strikes and an influx of artists reshape the neighbourhood, Mac's own life begins to unravel. When a mysterious woman in a striped dress briefly crosses his path, his search for her becomes an unexpected journey of self-discovery.
