It's Even Hot In The Shade: A Rock and Roll Love Story, is a musical tragedy about the perils of love and the streets, and the struggle to escape, while maintaining one's dignity and free will, the boundaries created by uncontrollable events.  Ultimately, each character's life proves Foucault's theory that one can never truly be free, no matter the circumstance.
