O filme acompanha a grande rede americana de lojas de discos "Tower Records" desde sua abertura, na década de 60, até seu fechamento, em 2006. Ao cobrir tantos anos de história, as mais diversas fases são mostradas aqui. Vemos o ápice dos discos de vinil, surgimento de CD's e os problemas que as atualizações da indústria fonográfica trouxeram para ela mesma. O roteiro balanceia bem o que há de positivo e negativo no legado da "Tower Records", sem ficar se lamentando ou precisando se vangloriar de seu valoroso passado.

O que ajuda, nesse sentido, é o fato de que soma-se a narrativa do longa o próprio desenvolvimento de artistas e músicos pelo tempo. Aparecimento de novas tendências entre bandas e o que se produzia no mainstream ou no underground em determinados momentos.
