PUNK'S DEAD is a punk romp through the Utah hinterlands following Ross, Penny and Crash, three young outsiders from different tribes, as they embark on a road trip to get to a huge punk show in Salt Lake City. Ross, 19, is the love child of Trish and Heroin Bob, who died before Ross was born. During the course of their odyssey, and with the help of a healthy dose of drugs, alcohol and punk music, Ross shreds his darkly gothic outlook and embraces life. His mother Trish, who raised Ross alone in her steam punk shop, discovers that he is in a crisis. She recruits his 'uncles,' Bob's old SLC gang, to help find him. When all collide at the concert, they are forced to deal with their unresolved relationships with Bob.

TREEHOUSE Pictures, Man of Action Entertainment and XYZ. They will also be selling the action-thriller PILGRIMAGE starring Jon Bernthal, Richard Armitage and Tom Holland and BUSHWICK starring Jane Levy.
