In the early 1990s, in England's 'Black Country', a band called Triangle are a cult item on the post-punk music scene. Karl is the brilliant but troubled vocalist, haunted by past violence and present danger, torn between chasing fame and desiring oblivion, between men and women, music and silence. David is the bass player with a record collection, struggling to make sense of Karl's unhinged reality. As the band make waves through London, Dublin and Amsterdam, with the obligatory drink, sex and blurred reality, Karl starts to come apart.
