Davy, Micky, Mike and Peter are four young men in mid-1960s Los Angeles, California, members of a struggling country-folk-rock band looking for their big break amid madcap encounters with a variety of people straight out of TV/film central casting, with the full knowledge that their very existence is part of a weekly TV series. The real-life young men occasionally discuss off-camera matters with their producer, Robert Rafelson, at the end of some of said TV series' episodes, and perform a litany of engaging country-folk-rock songs each week.
