Synopsis/Details
Chaos is the story of Ian ‘Dosser’ Dawkins journey to musical rebirth.
Now in his 40’s, Dosser is ten years into recovery, back in a day job and still grieving for his brother, Tony (the victim of an on-tour suicide).
When his defunct band, The Nuclear Aces are offered a series of lucrative festival shows, it could be the answer to Dosser’s dire financial woes.
But can Dosser juggle being a rebel with his own need for inner peace?
Will he risk his sobriety by returning to a world of egos and snides? And that’s just his 20 year estranged band mates.
And can he ever forgive the devious scam-master man-ager who he blames for his brother’s death?
Caught between Rock and a hard place.
Chaos is for Musicians what Californication was for Authors and Sons of Anarchy was for Bike Gangs.
Part Joy Division biopic, Control, part Motley Crue’s The Dirt, it’s a warts n’ all look behind the workings of a Rock & Roll band and how middle aged men deal with their - sometimes tainted - pasts.
Stories with substance, not just substances.
