An abandoned “love child”, Jack grows up in a small farming community - oblivious to his stellar parentage – until one day he catches a glimpse of his mother on the video of a Stones concert. What ensues is an odyssey that takes him across the land following the path of Rolling Stones’ concerts with both dark and hilarious results.
