Chosen from more than 2,000 applicants, six aspiring music journalists learn that they will spend the summer working at Rolling Stone’s Manhattan office. Tika, Krishtine, Russell, Peter, Krystal and Colin meet the editors, move into New York apartments and confront the difference between their rock-and-roll expectations and the magazine’s demanding office culture. Their first writing critiques make clear that enthusiasm alone will not win the year-long contributing-editor contract.
