The Unrighteous Brothers

It’s the 1960s, and two Nashville boys, negotiating their way to manhood, chase women, love, sex, God’s will, and the perfect rock-and-roll song . . . maybe not in that order.

Best high school friends Brad Warren and Ronnie Lewis pull off foolish antics, start a rock band, and succumb to the wiles of older girls, yet obey the rules of their fundamentalist Four Square Gospel church. After graduation, they head off to Bible college, where they push the limits, almost get expelled, and then get married, one having to, one wanting to. Their longtime bond survives loving the same woman, struggling with addiction and infidelity, hiding haunting secrets, living with apathy and skepticism, dealing with illness and death, losing their faith, and finding it again, as they search for purpose in life and find their peace.

The Unrighteous Brothers offers sympathetic insight into growing up in a fundamentalist church in the South, along with the inherent pressures to conform to a narrow view of the world and a struggle to break free.
