Charles Manson had one goal - to become a rock star. Told by those who were there, witness his obsession to audition for the Hollywood elite such as Terry Melcher and Dennis Wilson, how the Beatles' Helter Skelter motivated his race wars, how The Byrds, The Beach Boys, and Bob Dylan influenced the music he used to seduce his followers, and his spiral into violence over a failed musical career. Featuring interviews with Gregg Jakobson, Dianne Lake, Stephen Desper, Phil Kaufman, Ed Roach, Ernest Knapp, David Felton, Jeff Guinn, Simon Wells, Jon Stebbins, Anthony DeCurtis, and Dominic Priore.
