Plot summary
Beni, age 15, becomes enamoured with the lead singer of the struggling rock band "The Minks", Fgi Mller, who is ten years older than him. Fgi ensnares him with the perceived glamor of being a musician, takes him on as the band's 'roadie', and at the same time seduces him. Beni unquestionably follows him, including following him into drug addiction. Beni's youthful innocence is destroyed in a milieu of sex, drinking, drugs, and rock-and-roll. He ends up prostituting himself to pay for Fgi's drug habit.
