When a young punk-rock band starts out in the underground music scene, all they have is one another. But when a childhood friend with complicated connections to the group leverages her P.R. skills to get them noticed, they suddenly find themselves on the verge of making it big. The only question is how far they're willing to go in the pursuit of fame and fortune and who they're willing to leave behind to get there. "Hated" explores the dark, smoke-filled corners where human nature meets the contemporary-music industry.
