At the beginning you see several rock band members talking about the good times when The New York Dolls were one of the "it" bands of the time. An influential band. The focus is on one particular member named Arthur "Killer" Kane, who seems like a nice, quiet man overall.
The story takes a turn for the worse when we hear of the downfalls of the band, and their disappearance from stardom. The dream they had seemed to start fading. The ride, that especially for Arthur Kane, came to an end. His life takes a turn for the worse. He searches for truth. For anything.
A slightly different tone enters in on the documentary suddenly. Arthur comes across The Church Of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. He prays over the Book of Mormon, and in words he describes as receiving an answer from God that it was true. To try and capture the essence, he states it was like a drug experience, but without the drugs. In other words, Arthur Kane found something. He found truth.
As he follows his faith, years after the glory days, he stumbles across probably the last thing he expected. An invitation to play at a concert, with the old band again.
Arthur Kane's life is a tremendous example of life's ofttimes stern cycle of trial and discovery. It shows us what we are made of when we bounce back from hard times and exercise our faith. Kane's faith strengthened him, so God could deliver him and bless him. From the dark abyss into the shining light.
