Andy Rourke and Mike Joyce were the legendary rhythm section behind The Smiths. For the first time on film they tell the story of what it was like being in one of the world's most celebrated and ground-breaking bands. What is was like working with Morrissey and Johnny Marr. Their unique song-writing process and the relationships they formed in the five years they were together.

Andy Rourke talks openly and honestly about his perilous drug addiction which threatened not only his position in the band but also his life.

Filmed over three years in the UK, Europe and the USA. This film looks inside The Smiths from the perspective of two people who were there!
