A small town teenager in the 1960s believes her dreams of becoming a famous singer will come true when her rock star idol gets stranded in town. But a leak in a nearby chemical plant that is believed to be causing mass mutations threatens to turn her dream into a nightmare.

BANG BANG BABY is a musical about Stepphy (Jane Levy), who lives in the sleepy 1960?s town of Lonely Arms with her alcoholic father (Peter Stormare). Stepphy’s dream of escaping to a better life on the stage and screen seems to be coming true when rock star Bobby Shore’s (Justin Chatwin) car breaks down in Lonely Arms. But Fabian, the town creep, tells her that the local chemical factory is leaking dangerous purple fumes that can cause human mutations. Stepphy becomes obsessed with hiding these dark secrets from Bobby. When you live too much in your fantasies, reality begins to look like a nightmare…
