The film is about two young goths, Gypsy and Clive, who travel to New York for an annual festival celebrating their idol, Stevie Nicks.

After a long and heated discussion with Gypsy, her father reveals that her mother didn't just disappear, or die: she left to follow her dream of becoming a famous singer.

The next morning, while Gypsy and Clive try to console each other and make sense of the previous night's events, the two are egged and mocked by the fraternity brothers as they leave the rest area while Troy sits silently.

They miss the auditions for the Night of a Thousand Stevies, and Gypsy learns that her mother committed suicide 4 years earlier.

The soundtrack features well known icons of the gothic subculture, such as The Cure, Claire Voyant, and electronic music artists Velvet Acid Christ and Apoptygma Berzerk.
