Middle America, 1999. The four members of The New Agenda have just come off a tour that left them emotionally emptied out and completely broke. Back at their dilapidated shared home with nothing in the fridge and nothing in the bank, the essential questions surface immediately: how do they make rent? Why is there no album to tour behind? When is Nik ever going to finish writing something? Why does nobody want to practice? The band is intact. Everything else is uncertain.
