Izzy O'Hara, a loveable misfit, as wily, hapless and tender as Moll
Flanders, suffers a nervous tic that's twice misdiagnosed as S.A.D.
When she thinks she sees her estranged brother Tommy on her smoke
break in downtown San Francisco, she embarks on an odyssey that
takes her into her past, the history of American punk rock, and
across the American West. She's not sure if it was Tommy, who ran
off with a rockabilly band in the Eighties, or was it Ray Z. Omaha
of the Twelve Steppers, the singer he mimicked? Is it her vision
and everybody looks like somebody else, or is she just S.A.D.? Then
those pesky calls from the Governor begin. Time to move to another
big city. In Chicago, her luck is double-edged: She is still being
followed, yet she herself follows Ray Z. Omaha and his band to
solve the mystery of Tommy. But one too many rough nights find her
on the run again, this time back home to Nebraska, where she thinks
she begins to see things more clearly. She follows Ray's band on
tour westward, retrieving clues from her troubled past, tracing the
roots of American punk all the way to Hermosa Beach and East L.A,
while falling for the bass player Dirk. While Izzy is on her
odyssey, her mother dies suddenly. The loss of this sweet, steady
figure devastates her. Ray flies in for the funeral and promises he
will find Tommy. Izzy returns to San Francisco where Ray has
another surprise, but it's the good kind-not, "Hi, I'm a Rockabilly
Vampire." Her vision holds the key to their survival. The character
Ray Z. Omaha is based on the life of Charlie Burton of Lincoln,
Nebraska, and 10 of Charlie Burton and The Twelve Steppers' songs
are included.
