A reclusive 53-year-old man, a former rock-and-roll icon, lives in an apartment filled with various electronic devices, playing music and TV shows simultaneously. He has a unique appearance and a notarized document declaring himself an alien. Thirty years earlier, he was a singer and frontman of a band that created psychedelic music, but after a 1969 arrest, he was institutionalized and spent three years in a state hospital. He reemerged a changed man, singing about dark themes and declaring himself "the evil one." He stopped recording music and disappeared, earning the nickname "the great lost vocalist of rock and roll." For the past 12 years, he has lived a reclusive life, only opening his door for his mother, Evelyn.
