Founder of the pioneering band Cro-Mags and a legend of the NYC Hardcore scene, Harley Flanagan is a punk rock icon who has defied the odds and come out the other side. But while his career has been a no-holds-barred ride, Wired for Chaos isn't just about the music, it's about a man forged in fire - a survivor of neglect, sexual abuse, drugs, violence and PTSD - who's lived to tell the tale. From his harsh childhood in the burnt-out Lower East Side, musician Harley Flanagan burst onto the punk music scene at age 11 as drummer for his aunt's band, the Stimulators. The founder of the Cro-Mags tells his incredible story, while interviews with hard rockers and icons Flea, Ice-T, Henry Rollins, Anthony Imperioli and surprise guests add insights. Featuring gritty footage of NYC's downtown 1970s and 80s music scene, this passionate film showcases Harley's against-the-odds transformation from chaos to peace, driven by music, family, and personal growth.
