NO ALTERNATIVE is a coming-of-age drama that drills a hole into the world of suburban American teenagers in the early 90's. Thomas Harrison is determined to start his own alternative band, an obsession that blinds him to what's either the mental collapse, or the eruption of musical genius, of his younger sister, Bridget. Bridget boldly rejects her brother's music, and the music of an entire generation of slackers, by taking on the persona of an X-rated gangsta' rapper named Bri Da B.
Against the backdrop of the suicide of Kurt Cobain, William Dickerson sets into motion a series of relationships, examining socially significant themes––suicide, depression, drug addiction and the teenage angst and alienation that were so prevalent at the time.
