Synopsis/Details
Yesterday, JANE SMASH was the broke, homeless lead singer of a profoundly underappreciated LA punk band called Smashcock. Last night, in a post-show bender rampage, Jane took some suspicious drugs and fought a power transformer. Today, thanks to that same, cataclysmic cocktail of bad decisions, Jane is indestructible and super strong!
With Jane’s superhuman talent for destruction and mayhem, the girls of Smashcock break into a bank and stage a guerrilla punk concert. The plan is simple: play awesome music to an ever-growing crowd, while the citizens of Los Angeles show up and take whatever they want from the bank vault. After all, who can stop them?
While the girls are busy staging the ultimate punk show, the sinister United States Government hatches plans of their own for Jane’s unbridled power...
