After being kicked out of high school, Darby Crash forms The Germs with friends who have little experience playing music. Joined by Lorna Doom, Pat Smear, and Don Bolles, he rises as an L.A. punk icon and helps reshape the city’s punk scene. As the band’s influence grows, Darby’s drive and recklessness strain his relationships, his career, and the life he is building around the music.
