Two goth misfits living in Sandusky, Ohio—musician Gypsy Vale (Sara Rue) and her younger queer protege Clive Webb (Kett Turton)—decide to run away to New York City so Gypsy can participate in the ultimate Stevie Nicks cosplay event: Night of 1,000 Stevies. Along the way, they encounter other misfits that pave the way to their salvation including washed-up singer Bambi LeBleau (a scene-stealing Karen Black) and a confused Amish runaway in evergreen charmer from writer/director Todd Stephens (The Edge of Seventeen, Swan Song).
