Revival follows a group of friends whose rock band, Smoke, broke up in 1972. Now, forty years later, they are planning a mega-comeback with four mates, four stories and four different reasons to revive a band long extinct— a combination of money, nostalgia for lost fame, the need to help a friend, and fear of infirmity, illness and death.
