We meet Bennie Salazar at the melancholy nadir of his adult life divorced, struggling to connect with his nine-year-old son, listening to a washed-up band in the basement of a suburban house and then revisit him in 1979, at the height of his youth, shy and tender, reveling in San Francisco s punk scene as he discovers his ardor for rock and roll and his gift for spotting talent.
