In February 2006, Charles de Meaux met the Texan psychedelic rock band The Secret Machines during a performance in Marfa, the home of Mystery Lights. This film is an intimate notebook of that experience, spent in the shadow of some of the 'giants' of American culture. It's an encounter of the third kind that speaks volumes about the contradictions of our contemporary culture.
