Plot:

The Ain't Rights, a struggling punk rock band, are on a low-budget tour. After a disastrous gig, they secure a last-minute show at a remote, rundown venue in the Oregon wilderness. Following their set, bassist Pat returns to the green room to retrieve a forgotten phone charger and inadvertently witnesses the aftermath of a murder committed by the club's neo-Nazi patrons.

The band, along with a witness named Amber, are quickly cornered and held captive in the green room by the club's manager, Gabe, and his henchmen. The club's owner, the chillingly calm Darcy Banker, arrives and orchestrates a plan to eliminate the band and Amber to cover up the crime. A tense and violent standoff ensues, with the band members desperately trying to find a way to escape the fortified room while facing increasing pressure and brutal attacks from the skinheads. As their numbers dwindle, the survivors must employ cunning and violence to stand a chance against their ruthless captors.
