Officer Dave Brown (Harrelson) has two ex-wives who are sisters (Anne Heche and Cynthia Nixon), and he cheated on both. Brown has a daughter from each marriage which creates conflict at home. Dave also has contentious relationships with his children. However, the film starts with his other home, which is the beat. Dave patrols streets occupied by gangs, and he creates problems for himself with increasing severity. Dave forcibly obtains a confession out of a convenience store thief. Later he is caught on tape beating someone almost to death. The beating is still playing on television when he's involved in a suspicious shooting. These incidents get Dave in trouble with an already beleaguered police department, and he faces either sanctions or forced retirement. Dave tries to talk his way out of trouble with an assistant district attorney (Sigourney Weaver). Dave realizes that his superiors are less concerned about what he has done but more concerned about the predicament he has created by getting caught.

Le portrait croisé, filmé sur sept ans, de deux groupes de pop psychédélique aux destins divergents : The Dandy Warhols et The Brian Jonestown Massacre. Proches au début, les deux groupes deviennent peu à peu rivaux, les premiers obtiennent le succès et les seconds passent leur temps à saboter leur carrière. En revanche, si c'est le leader des Dandy Warhols qui se prête au jeu, comme narrateur en voix off, c'est plutôt le groupe d'Anton Newcombe, leader charismatique et cyclothymique du B.J.M, qui est valorisé dans le film, à la fois pour son incroyable productivité (en 1996 le groupe sort trois albums autoproduits) et pour ses frasques à répétition - violentes bagarres sur scènes, conflits d'ego à répétition, problèmes de drogue...
