Benjamin (no last name) was the lead singer of Smoke, a band based in the Atlanta neighborhood known as Cabbagetown. The band (composed of cello, trumpet, drums, banjo, and electric guitar) played a wild Southern mix of country, blues, jazz, and punk. Benjamin was a singer whose drag-queen background and visceral approach to life and music both cemented the band's fame and guaranteed its limits. While Smoke was frequently cited as one of Atlanta's best bands, Benjamin's extraordinary persona, his utterly uncompromising performances, and his HIV-positive status created a mixture too volatile for the mainstream and the record industryThe film is a portrait of an extraordinary individual, band, and neighborhood that raises complicated and intriguing questions: How does a poor musician with AIDS balance his illness and renegade lifestyle with the need to create? What's the sound of queer Southern blues? How do changing landscapes affect the creative lives of people within them?

But one central figure of the Beat movement never moved beyond obscurity—Joan Burroughs, who died of a gunshot wound delivered by her own husband. BEAT is the true story of the events leading up to that fatal day.Joan was the center of a circle of friends who would later become the Beats. They all lived on the edge, and they all shared a gift for falling in love with the wrong people. It is 1951, and William (Kiefer Sutherland) and Joan (Courtney Love) are living in Mexico City. The Burroughses' old friends Ginsberg (Ron Livingston) and Lucien Carr (Norman Reedus) drive down for a visit, but William has taken off to Guatemala with another man. Joan is feeling low but is captivated by the idea of a car trip to an erupting volcano. On the road, Joan and Lucien fall in love.
