"Freight Train" is an up and coming rock and roll band performing on America's West Coast during the turbulent mid 1960's. In addition to endearing the usual challenges of life on the road as a performing band, "Freight Train" has several dark secrets that threaten the band's very existence. Two brothers are members of this band. One of them, the band's front man, is morphing into a closet homosexual which was not at all acceptable during this time period. Not even his own brother knows of his new interests. A darker and much more serious issue is that another band member, who recently returned from military service in Viet Nam, did not come back to the States in a good way. This member has become obsessed with one of the band's groupies to the point where he must make her his one and only, no matter what it takes. This groupie does not share this same interest and conflicts develop that lead the would-be suitor to become a serial killer. Who or what can stop him?
