The film was produced by Andy Gould, who previously worked on Rob Zombie films.
This movie follows a young rock band, half from England and half from the US, who all drop out of college and move to Los Angeles to try to become famous. The main character is Johnny Faust (Andy Biersack), who lives in Columbus, Ohio with his mom (Denise Richards) and his longtime girlfriend Gretchen (Olivia Culpo). He and his friends move to Los Angeles and meet up with the band members from England; together, they are The Relentless. They hold auditions for a bassist, and choose a girl named Lily (Jesse Sullivan). The band is accosted by an old man twice before they agree to talk to him, sans Lily. The man (Malcolm McDowell) implies that he's the Devil and that he can make them huge stars if they trust him and perform a human sacrifice. As Lily had told Johnny that her ex-boyfriend Damien (Drake Bell) raped her the night she broke up with him, and after Johnny has learned that his mom has breast cancer and can't afford treatment and Damien having insulted Johnny's mother, the band decides that Damien will be the victim. They lock him in a van, pour gasoline on it and set it aflame, but midway through Johnny has a change of heart and lets Damien out. Damien tries to climb an electrical fence but dies after being electrocuted.
The Devil considers the human sacrifice as having been completed. The Relentless record an album, called 'American Satan' and then goes on tour to promote it. At a tour stop in Kansas, a bar fight leads to the death of a racist man, and Johnny is arrested. He goes on trial and is released after a period of time; the death is ruled self-defense. This inspires The Relentless's fans to confront their bullies, leading to more deaths, all blamed on the band.
