Features: DVD
Don't Stop Believin'
Ben Stanton (Peter Strauss) is running for Senate and the polls are on a downward slide. A recent car accident in which his young lover died hasn't helped his popularity, but each time he plays his campaign song he's transported back to the moment before the crash. Can he change the future, or will history just repeat itself?Instant Karma
Arrogant rock star Vince Brava (Jason Gedrick) forces himself on a naive groupie Lara (Lindsay Sloane) at a post-show party. She vows to take revenge and while kissing him at the next gig, magically switches their personalities. When "She" becomes "he," it's payback time as Lara sets out to destroy his life. Cold Turkey
"Have you ever writtenia song sober?" is the question mysterious music journalist (Patsy Kensit) puts to songwriter Jared (John Hawkes). He's been on the wagon but it's cost him his creativity. They embark on a binge when she reveals she's the manifestation of his addiction. And she's in his life for good. Soul Man
Mitch (James Marsters) is a wannabe guitarist who finds Jimi Hendrix's last song in a thrift store. The downside: if he plays it he'll conjure up the devil. He ignores the warning and with the help of Simon Rathbone (Roger Daltrey) finds fame and fortune. But soon Satan wants to settle the score.
Editor's Note
Made up of four seemingly unrelated, but universally odd stories, STRANGE FREQUENCY 2 may remind some of THE TWILIGHT ZONE for its exploration of the unknown. Connected only by their bizarre events and the theme of rock & roll, the fantasies presented here explore issues like addiction, revenge, betrayal, and greed. In "Don't Stop Believing," Ben Stanton's (Peter Strauss) political career is facing its end after the tragic death of his young lover goes public. Ravaged by this event, Ben is repeatedly transported back to the seconds before the fatal crash each time he hears his campaign song. Does this time travel suggest some hope for retrieving his lover, or will he be forced to relive this painful moment over and over again? In "Instant Karma," a conceited rock star takes advantage of a young fan. Eager to pay him back, Lara (Lindsay Sloane) casts a spell on Vince (Jason Gedrick), and switches bodies with him. Inhabiting his skin, Lara is in the position to seek the ultimate revenge. Patsy Kensit stars a prodding rock journalist in "Cold Turkey," asking a songwriter named Jared (John Hawkes) if he's ever written music while sober. Suffering from a creative dry spell, Jared jumps off the wagon on a path towards self-destruction. The journalist joins him, only to reveal she has come to haunt him by personifying his alcoholism in the shape of a woman. In "Soul Man," Mitch's (James Marsters) trip to the thrift store proves especially rewarding when he finds the last song ever recorded by Jimi Hendrix. Driven by the pursuit of stardom, Mitch ignores warnings by the devil, and releases the song in order to become famous.
