Please Don't Be Waiting For Me

SCOTT CARLSEN and his teenage friends spend their nights pogo dancing at the punk dives of early 80s San Francisco and their days wrestling with the social and academic rigors of senior year. In the aftermath of a riotous gig, one of their number, a sweet natured punkette named Nadya, is found savagely murdered, and Scott's best friend Benny, her boyfriend, is hauled in by the police. Sure of Benny's innocence, but cynical of their chances of seeing it proved through official channels, the close knit band of young punks sets out to prove it on their own. In the process they become entangled in a terrifying conspiracy involving Hells Angels, racist skinheads and a missing satchel of methamphetamines.
