1980s Kingston, Ontario is known for prisons and a preppy university - not rock 'n' roll. Five high school friends change that when they form The Tragically Hip and set out to rock one small town after another.
The Tragically Hip's albums capture the Canadian spirit, endearing them to a generation. Riding a fan-fueled tour, they pursue a daring sonic shift, straining relations with their long-time manager.
The Tragically Hip are on top of the world. They play Saturday Night Live, tour the US with Page/Plant and Europe with The Rolling Stones. Their albums are still selling, but after so many years together they're feeling the pressure.
