Going balls to the wall until they made their big break. And then Preacher McCade and the Roadmasters redefined rock and roll. Guided by their tortured lead singer and songwriter, the Roadmasters changed the face of music in the 80s and 90s. And on their journey to becoming one of the most enduring bands in history-dogged by rumors and myth and fueled by drugs and booze-the Roadmasters had one touchstone. Lyla.

And they didn't know it, but they were headed for a crash.
