GROMMETS (2024)

MINISERIES PREMIERE Two best-friend outcasts navigate the Sacramento suburbs of 1984, where they find a home in skateboard culture and punk rock. On one side of the coin, GROMMETS is an authentic look at 80s skate culture, a snapshot of the generation that turned skating into a worldwide phenomenon. On the other, it's a heartfelt coming-of-age story that follows two friends from troubled homes as they navigate their damage in an era when no one cared.

A house party plan is hatched on a ditch day at the arcade when Rick and Brian take their shot at the girl of their dreams, but will Liberty Spike Mike's defiance of Nancy Reagan make their dreams go up in smoke?

Rick's dad gives him adolescent world-ending news that causes a fight with Brian, leaving him feeling angry, alone, and unheard just as their movie night with friends and girls begins, but party-crashing high school animals BYOB and blow their plans to bits.

Good times turn ugly when drunken jocks doing jock things harsh everyone's buzz with their brutal stupidity and test the strength and loyalty of weakened friendships.

Things go sideways in a hurry when the drunken and uninvited jocks decide they don't like the look of our misfit friends. Based on true stories that changed the lives of two damaged kids forever.
