Flying under the radar is difficult when you’re medically required to wear a cowboy hat to school (to protect his vision). Ross decides that if he’s going to be thrust into the spotlight, he’d rather it was for his epic comic strip (Batpig) or for his musical prowess than for looking like a goopy-eyed cowboy. Under the tutelage of a rock-n’-roll loving radiation tech, Ross decides to start a band. With the odds stacked against him, he relies on his friends (and sometimes on his enemies) to make what could have been a killer year into something truly memorable.
