Description Sex, drunks, and Rock'n'Roll!

Riding the wave of nostalgic reunions of famous rock bands, some of whom disbanded decades ago, ‘Lights out’ also seek to get back together.
The question is - why? What is their motivation? Is it just the money, or is it maybe ego?
One last moment of glory, perhaps? Or is it something else completely?

Lead guitarist & songwriter Rick, has been sent to the Bahamas to complete the newly reformed ‘Lights Out’ comeback album, by writing the obligatory ‘hit single’, as demanded by their record company. His already infamously prickly mood, is not helped by the constant interruptions from the unexpected arrival of various band members, wives, managers and even journalists, to his songwriting retreat.
Will this ‘hit single’ ever get written? Will the journalist (Peta), uncover the inside truths about their previous disbandment? And what will transpire when the band heads off on their nine months long world tour? If there was bad blood between them before they broke up last time, can they really survive this reunion?
Only one thing is for sure, ‘Lights Out’ (Rick, Brian, Rog, Geoff and Andy) are back, and that means that anything could, and probably will, happen!
