Junior "Junebug" Jacobs is the adopted child of a loving, God-fearing Midwestern couple. Life for him is simple, free, and easy, until things go awry at the church his adopted father works at and a flurry of lies, deceit, and faith healing ensues. After an unforeseen family tragedy, he finds himself thrust into the shady on-goings of the East St. Louis disco scene of the seventies, where he and his pal Mauricio jump start their dream of being in a famous rock-n-roll band. When the band flops, they enlist an aging street-smart pimp to handle their management duties, and the future begins to look much brighter. Free Drinks puts you in the back seat and takes you along for the ride as Junebug and Mauricio attempt to take the disco scene by storm, one sleazy bar at a time.
