Nicholas "Rattlesnake" Von Miere, the big-haired former '80s glam metal rocker-turned fashion designer is back! Now living in New York City, Nicholas tries his hardest to adjust to full-time dad duty. On one particular day, he takes his two young daughters Ilsa and Helga birthday shopping, bringing along his quiet niece Georgina, trainwreck best friend Jimmy, future guitar legend Varun, and mystic hippie artist Maurice. Nicholas is trying his best to be a good role model for Ilsa and Helga, but oh boy, if they only knew about his past!
Throughout the day, Nicholas and Jimmy exchange stories of their youths, revealing just how different their lives were. Nicholas was a spoiled rich boy from London who moved to New York to live in his late grandfather's hotel. At eighteen, he and his cousin became the kings of Sunset Strip. Tough, streetwise Jimmy was disowned by his abusive father at fifteen and ran away to San Francisco with his best friend Chris. There the boys met a kindly old woman who became the mother Jimmy never had, an insane fire-obsessed cult leader, and the future love of Jimmy's life. Finally one night, a terrifying event led Jimmy to leave the city he loved and find his way to Sunset Strip and his new best friend, Nicholas Von Miere.
