Only problem is Charlie only paints one thing a claw-foot tub in a leaky shack an image that has haunted her since childhood. Her one clue to her obsession is a vague memory of hearing her father's music on a 45 record. Desperate for answers that can blast her out of her artistic rut, Charlie gets a lead that the 45 can be found in Memphis. Charlie hops a bus and starts her quest to find the elusive song "Rusted Roof."? But her trip threatens to be a bust as self-proclaimed garage rock expert, Louie Traxler, explains he has never heard of it. Charlie knows next to nothing about her father or his music but a photo she has gives Louie a clue that his own obsession, a musician named Butch Derby, might have been involved. He proposes a road trip to conduct a proper search. Meeting with dead ends and finding only scraps of information to go on, tension builds as Louie's rumbling '71 Pontiac Grandville seems to be going in circles and Charlie has only days before her grant review. On a dusty shelf, Louie finds a rare Butch Derby record he has been seeking for years and the helplessness of the situation sets in for Charlie. But help comes from unexpected places and Charlie finds more than just a record.
