While in juvie, hardcore rocker Ritchie must keep a journal every day about the events that led to his incarceration. Seamlessly shifting between his experiences inside Progressive Progress and his prior adventures in the underground music scene, Ritchie reluctantly examines his life and the tragedies that shaped him. Like hardcore music, Beaudoin's prose focuses on rhythm with punchy, abrasive, often comedic narration.
