Logline

Snake River is a Rock and Roll drama series about the unlikely rise of Luke Weaver, a middle-aged depressive whose talent for self-sabotage is second only to his ability to make great music.

Synopsis

Suffocating in the monotony of small-town life and going nowhere fast, Luke watches his hometown band – and life as he knows it – crumble, as his longtime best friend, Scotty, moves on. With no future in sight, Luke’s depression plunges even deeper with the return of his ex who unloads some unexpected complications.

Desperate, he turns to the only person he has left: Natalie, his childhood friend… and Scotty’s girlfriend. With shadows from his past weighing him down, Luke embarks on a quest that will change his life and his music, forever.

Driven by its powerfully moving original soundtrack, Snake River portrays a difficult and honest journey of the human spirit, taking us across deep divides most of us fear crossing.
