In the grand tradition of grown men acting like children on film, Rainn Willson of The Office fame presents The Rocker (rated PG-13 for drug and sexual references, as well as language), the story of a has-been drummer who gets a second chance at stardom.

Wilson plays Robert "Fish" Fishman, an '80s metal drummer who finds himself kicked out of his band Vesuvius right before his hairspray-loving band mates hit the big time. As his former band climbs the charts and breaks into the echelons of superstardom, Fish takes a variety of dead end jobs and generally lists toward mediocrity.

But when Fish hits rock bottom and ends up living in his sister's attic, he inadvertently gets a second chance at realizing his dreams when his young nephew Matt (Josh Gad) needs a drummer for his band A.D.D.'s gig at the prom.
