Sam & Tina

An upstart cover band gets mixed up with a hitman who is on the run. In this coast-to-coast thriller, the price of fame might just be your life.

The Sam & Tina Talk Show is just a cover band trying to make it — until a chance encounter with hitman "Doc" at a New Jersey bar sets off a cross-country chain of viral shows, record label interest, and mortal danger. A high-octane music thriller in the tradition of Baby Driver and Blues Brothers.
