Rock band Stack of Corpses need a hit song and everyone thinks they know how to get one. Band members Bass and Drums hatch a plan to steal a dead rock star's song from under his widow's nose. Lead singer Brian and manager Larry think they have the answer too - turning to a Russian gangster for help. Caught in the middle is Keys, a classical pianist who literally fights the competition to join the band before realising how lazy and feckless they all are.
Through six chapters, interspersed with advice from rock legend Richard O'Keefe, the band go from nobodies to superstars. But can they really hold onto their fame and how far are they willing to go to keep their secrets from coming out?
